Do You Have Easy/Quick Recipes for Ground Beef???

Sloppy Joes. Mix with a can of Manwich. Throw on a nice bun with a slice of cheese. Serve with any sides: potatoes, veggies, fries, salad.....

1lb gb, 1 can veggies (I use half corn half green beans) 1 can tomato soup. Cook gb, and mix all ing. together. Put in deep pie pan and top with mashed potatoes and cheese. Bake at 350* for 20-30 mins.

Yep. Heat your oven to broil. Mix 1lb or two with a bag of taco seasoning. Make into burgers ( I suggest thinner ones, they cook better) Broil for 3 min on one side two on the other. (I like mine well done so I go longer). Take cream cheese cut into 1/2 inch strips and make an X on the burgers, sprinkle paprika and put back in the oven for 2 min. That's it. Takes maybe 15 minutes and is awesome!

Taco Salad ~ YUMMY!!

1 head of lettuce
1 lb. ground beef
1 can of kidney beans
1 tomatoe
1 red onion
1 can sliced or chopped black olives
1 block of cheddar cheese (grated)
1 bag Doritos Nacho Cheese tortilla chips

dressing:

1/2 cup mayonnaise
1/2 cup sour cream
1/2 cup La Victoria green mild taco sauce

Brown your hamburger and season w/ garlic salt, pepper. Drain grease and add the kidney beans to your meat. Turn down to low and let cook while you prepare the salad.
Chop your lettuce, tomatoe, and onion (you can use less or more onion) into a large bowl, add the olives and grated cheese. Set aside while you mix together your salad dressing. Add the hamburger, beans, and salad dressing. Toss well.

Serve over Doritos chips, or you can add the chips to the salad. I prefer to keep them seperate so they don't get to soggy!

Takes about 20-30 min. altogether!

No recpies for you, just ideas that don't require a recipe.
I only use ground beef for taco meat, hamburgers, manwhich-sloppy joes, meatballs, and salsbury steak.
You can use the taco meat to make quesadillas, taco salad, nachos, enchiladas.

Enchiladas w/red sauce

Brown ground beef. In sauce pan warm plain tomato sauce and a packet of taco seasoning. Add some seasoned sauce to ground beef, then dredge tortillas in sauce and roll like normal. Add cheese, onion and olives if you'd like. Serve with avocado, lettuce, tomato & sour cream on top. Easy!

This is so easy. I use the regular taco seasoning packets and these enchiladas taste like Taco Bell food...which I like.

Taco Soup
1-lb hamburger- cooked

use less or more tomato sauce depending on how "soupy" you want it.

Combine a can of stewed tomataoes with seasoning, green peppers with the cooked ground beef. Heat and serve with couscous, I mix mine with the couscous. Easy and 2 out of my 3 kids like it.

Hamburger Helper is pretty fast and easy.

Here is a great ground turkey and rice recipe-you can just use ground beef instead of the ground turkey.

Put a can of rotel, tomato sauce and Williams chili seasoning in w/ 2 lbs. ground meat (add red kidney or ranch style beans if you like) and you have taco meat or chili or frito pie or nachos or hot dog topping. I love to make this b/c everyone gets to make what they want with it...

It might be easier if we knew your 'normal' menu. : )

Ground beef, sliced zucchini or summer squash, chopped bell pepper, onion if you like it, rice or pasta, sauce or crushed tomatoes and parm. or mozz. cheese. I just cook the veg with the beef, drain it, add cooked pasta, rice, barley (any grain really) and the sauce and then add the cheese at the end just until it melts. Really easy and it gets my husband to eat veggies.

He likes to just cook ground beef and add cooked pasta and tomato juice (yuck I say...).

Easiest meatballs ever and I get people begging me to make these for them. Ground beef, dry bread crumbs, an egg, chopped onion, salt, pepper, garlic, oregano. I cut up cheese sticks and make the meatball around the cheese and then I cook them in whatever sauce I have (they only take 20 minutes or so if you rotate and keep them covered) and serve them with whatever pasta I happen to have on hand.

Here's one of my family's favorites. It does have to cook for a little while but it's really easy to throw it together. I use low fat/light soup and sour cream in this and also substitute frozen white onions for the green onions if I don't have any.

Cabbage Stroganoff

Ingredients:
2 Tbsp. oil
1 cup chopped green onions

Spaghetti!
1lb hamburger
1 med onion, chopped
1 green pepper, chopped
1 can of tomatoes
1 can of tomato sauce (12 oz can)
Garlic
Italian seasoning
2 TBSP cream cheese

Brown the burger, onions and garlic together and brown. Before the burger is completely done, throw in the green peppers to soften them up.
Add the tomatoes and tomato sauce and season to taste.
Simmer about 15 minutes.
Add cream cheese and stir till melted.

TADA! Easy peasy! :) You can add whatever you want to the sauce.

I use ground turkey for ground beef style meals, but either works for anything, here's our favorite use-

Lasagna
-non-cook noodles (barilla makes some good ones)
-1 16 oz pkg skim milk ricotta, mixed with one package of baby spinach, prewashed and half cup of shredded skim milk mozzarella. (stir it all up together)
-brown the meat with 1 large jar of your favorite red pasta sauce-I am a fan of Paul Newman's sauces (low salt, low sugar, no corn syrup, etc)
*if you like extra veg, add sauteed mushrooms or shredded zucchini or carrots to the spinach mixture
Layer noddles, cheese mixture, meat mixture and handfuls of shredded mozzarella in a 9x13 Pyrex baking dish, repeat, top with lots of shredded mozzarella, bake at 350 for about 20-30 minutes, until cheese starts to brown.

Makes great lunch leftovers too!

ground beef, pasta and cheese

ground beef patties and rice

meatloaf

Tacos are a favorite in my house.

You could always make a meatloaf, that's easy.

I used to make stuffed peppers, which can be a little time consuming and my kids (and their friends) just love the stuffing, here's how I make it, saute onions and cut up green pepper, remove from pan - brown the ground beef - remove fat - add onions, peppers, a can of tomato sauce and some seasoning, oregano, black pepper, garlic powder, simmer for about 10 minutes. Serve over rice.
