    Ground Beef Meals

    I have some ground beef to use and I can't decide what meals to make.

    What are your favorite ground beef meals?

    Re: Ground Beef Meals

    This will be a good thread for me, I just got a 10 lb chub of ground beef on sale for a great price so I need some inspiration as well.  We almost never eat ground beef, but for the price I couldn't pass it up.  Some things I've made in the past are:

    -Meatloaf burgers

    -Hamburger crumble

    -Taco meat to freeze

    Stuffed cabbage and stuffed peppers are great and very economical.

    I second the stuffed peppers; with them coming in now, they'll be dirt cheap. My favorite way to fix these is to clean* and parboil for about 5 minutes.  Set aside to drain.  Prepare one box Spanish Rice-a-Roni type mix (I use Aldi) with a can of Rotel-type tomatoes (again, Aldi; theirs are only $.59 and are full-sized cans).  In separate pan, brown a pound of ground beef and drain.  When the rice mix is done, stir in the cooked beef and about a cup of shredded cheese.  Stuff peppers and bake at 350 for about 30 minutes; (put about 1" of water in baking dish around peppers to keep them from browning too much on the bottom).  This makes a ton of filling, so we always have some left over; it's good with tortilla chips and salsa for a second meal. *

    * If you halve the peppers top-to bottom and make "boats" instead of just cutting the tops off, you can mound the filling up so they hold more.

    I mainly use hamburger for 5 things,  meatloaf, (great for meatloaf sandwiches the next day), tacos, chili, burgers and hamburger helper.     burgers, meatloaf and tacos are the most popular things.

     It's basically a white gravy (think biscuits and gravy) that you add browned hamburger to and you serve it over white rice or mashed poatoes.  My g'ma used to make it when we were little.  I've only made it a few times, both because it's not that healthy and I'm not good at making gravy.  However it's really tasty!

    Great tip, thanks! Prices still aren't dirt cheap here on those so my cost for peppers alone would run about $5 for a meal for us.
