How about some quick & easy ground beef ideas

I've got a couple of packs of ground beef in the freezer & I'm looking for something tasty that doesn't come from a package that says "Hamburger Helper." But it has to be something that I can fix quickly as the Wife is very impatient with me in the kitchen. :D

 

If I can I'd like to stay away from the chili as my kid won't eat it & it needs to be non-spicy.

Taco feast is always good. Make soft, crunchy, and use chips for taco salad.

 

Make it a family fiesta where the kids help with prep work and whatnot.

We do the make-your-own taco's pretty often. Looking for something that I can make myself & doesn't come from a package.

Meatballs:

 

 

4 large eggs

1/2 cup fresh French breadcrumbs (or not :D )

6 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese

3 tablespoons olive oil

1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley

3 large garlic cloves, minced

2 teaspoons salt

1 teaspoon ground black pepper

2 pounds lean ground beef

 

 

Stir eggs, breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, 3 tablespoons olive oil, parsley, garlic, 2 teaspoons salt and pepper in large bowl to blend. Add ground beef and mix thoroughly. Form mixture into 1 1/2-inch diameter meatballs.

 

Pour enough oil into heavy large skillet to coat bottom; heat over medium-low heat. Working in batches, add meatballs and fry until brown and cooked through, turning frequently and adding more oil as needed, about 15 minutes per batch. Transfer to plate.

 

can go more italian and use marinara, or a little more nordic:

 

2 tablespoons all purpose flour

1 1/3 cups beef stock or canned beef broth

2 tablespoons whipping cream

Ground allspice

 

Add flour to drippings in skillet and stir over medium heat until brown, about 4 minutes. Gradually whisk in stock and cream. Simmer until sauce is thick and smooth, stirring frequently, about 5 minutes. Season to taste with allspice, salt and pepper. Pour sauce over meatballs and serve. i do this one over egg noodles.

 

i have added different ingredients/spices in the meatballs and the sauces (ie: finely diced onion, pepper, thyme, oregano, basil, etc).... you might want to delete the allspice...crisped diced bacon is nice in there as are sauted, sliced mushrooms.

I do a trailer-park version of nachos supreme - just season up the beef with garlic and onion (or garlic and onion salt for the true white trash feel) and pepper spice to taste; dice up whatever veggies you desire - onion, tomato, green/red peppers; take a can of Campbell's cheese soup and heat.

 

Take some nacho chips, put a layer in a big bowl, put some beef, veggies, and cheese on top, and repeat until bowl is heaping full. Then you plunk it in the middle of the table and go nuts. Takes about 15 minutes.

This sounds really f'n good. Could be a great football Sunday type of food.

Reminds me of the Frito pie we used to make.

 

 

How about stuffed bell pepper? :D

Cheeseburgerroni

 

Take ground beef. Place in hot skillet and brown. Feel free to season with seasoning salt, pepper, garlic salt.. whatever you like.

 

While this is going on, prepare your favorite type of Mac n Cheese, either from a box or you can make it "fresh" from a recipe

 

Once the Mac n Cheese is made, add in the ground beef and mix up.

 

Serve hot.

 

Enjoy

 

Quick and easy

Put ground beef into fridge until it thaws.

Take thawed ground beef out of fridge.

Unwrap.

Put onto plate.

 

Viola--steak tartare.

 

:D

Round here, you take raw ground beef, mix in onion and peppers, and eat it on crackers - it's called either raw dog or cannibal sandwiches.

 

I don't quite get the appeal.

You forgot to put the raw egg on top.

 

(I hope that clears things up for you.)

One of my favorite recipes with Ground Beef

 

Brown ground beef and diced onion, drain, mix in 1 can Cambells tomato soup...meanwhile, boil 7 oz.'s of elbow mac. and drain.

 

Mix cooked noodles, ground beef mixture, and cheddar cheese and bake for 30 minutes...tastes wonderful!
