An easy meal/recipe to make with hamburger?

Question

Trying to think of something to make tonight, except hamburgers.... Ideas?

Answer 1

Meatloaf is one of my favorite recipes - served with mashed potatoes and whole green beans or steamed baby carrots. Meatballs are good, as is chili or spaghetti.

Meatloaf
3 pounds ground beef
3 large eggs
1/2 to 3/4 cup Italian style bread crumbs
1 packet Lipton's Onion or Beefy Onion Soup Mix
1 can sliced mushrooms - drained
1/2 cup sliced black olives
2 tablespoons BBQ sauce
1 tablespoon A-1 sauce
1/2 cup salsa
1/2 cup shredded cheese - I use a combination of Cheddar, Italian Blend and Pepper-Jack cheeses or whatever I have on hand

Mix all ingredients, form into a loaf in a loaf pan, bake at 350 degrees F for 1 1/2 hours.

Swedish Meatballs Start to Finish: 50 minutes
Ingredients
1 egg, beaten
1/4 cup milk
3/4 cup soft bread crumbs (1 slice)
1/2 cup finely chopped onion (1 medium)
1/4 cup snipped fresh parsley
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1/8 teaspoon ground allspice or nutmeg
1 pound ground beef
1 tablespoon butter or margarine
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons instant beef bouillon granules
1/8 teaspoon black pepper
2 cups milk
3 cups hot cooked noodles
Snipped fresh parsley (optional)

Directions
1. In a large bowl combine egg and the 1/4 cup milk. Stir in bread crumbs, onion, the 1/4 cup parsley, the 1/4 teaspoon pepper, and allspice. Add beef. Mix well. Shape into 30 meatballs.

2. In a large skillet cook half the meatballs at a time in hot butter over medium heat about 10 minutes or until done (an instant-read thermometer inserted into meatballs should register 160 degrees F), turning to brown evenly. Remove meatballs from skillet, reserving drippings; drain meatballs on paper towels. Measure 2 tablespoons drippings; if necessary, add cooking oil to make the 2 tablespoons.

3. Stir flour, bouillon granules, and the 1�8 teaspoon pepper into drippings. Gradually stir in the 2 cups milk. Cook and stir over medium heat until thickened and bubbly. Cook and stir for 1 minute more. Return meatballs to skillet. Heat through. Serve over noodles. If desired, sprinkle with additional snipped parsley.

4. Makes 5 or 6 servings

Answer 2

Meatloaf is a good cool weather option- and makes great sandwiches from the leftovers... this one is SUPER easy as the stuffing mix already has all the flavor-

2 lbs hamburger meat
2 eggs
6 ounces Stove Top stuffing mix, any flavor
1 cup beef broth
1/4 teaspoon salt
3 slices bacon
1/4-1/2 cup ketchup

In a large mixing bowl put the hamburger meat, eggs, stuffing, broth and salt. Mix well.
Place the mixture in a bread loaf pan. Put the bacon across the top. Bake at 350 degreees for 60-70 minutes, or until done.
The last 15 minutes of cooking, spread the ketchup on top of the meatloaf.
If you don't want to use ketchup, put a can of condensed cream of mushroom soup on top of the meatloaf right before you put it in the oven.

Answer 3

Make hamburger gravy.Its good.Eat it with biscuits or bread. It's quick and easy too.


1 1/2 pound ground beef
1 package onion soup mix
1 cup water, more if desired
2 carrots, sliced
2 tablespoons flour
1/2 cup water



Brown ground beef and drain. Add onion soup mix and enough water to give it a "soupy" consistency. Add sliced carrots. Dissolve the flour in 1/2 cup water and mix with whisk (or until there are no lumps). Stir slowly into beef mixture. Stir thoroughly. Should have the consistency of gravy. Serve over potatoes, rice or noodles

Answer 5

Brown the hamburger with a little onion if you want, drain and add some corn and mushrooms and a can of brown gravy and season to taste if needed. Put into a casserole dish, add a layer of shreaded cheddar cheese and top with some prepared instand mashed potatoes and bake at 350 for 30-45 min until the top starts to brown. I call this shepard's pie.
