Give me your favorite recipes and things to do with ground meat.

We get 1/4 of a cow each year, and I'm up to my eyeballs in ground beef.  Definitely needing some new ideas.

Re: NGPR: Ground meat recipes

  • I make beef stroganoff with ground meat.
    Baked cream cheese spaghetti
    Hamburgers
    Lasagna
    Meatloaf
    Hamburger slop (hamburger, ketchup, green beans and then mashed potatoes and ketchup on top)
    Cabbage rolls
    Stuffed peppers

    I'm coming up blank on any more.. Give me a bit and I may be back with more.
  • @blueeyedblossom What are cabbage rolls?  I'm intrigued.

    Also, what's your recipe for stroganoff?  H would go for that.

  • Shepard's Pie!!

    You can look up a spin on the old "bridies" people used to get from street vendors like 200 years ago. They're basically a pastry shell stuffed with hot meat, onions, gravy, etc. I've been dying to try my hand at some. I'd probably make them in a similar way to the chicken bundles DH and I love (it, using crescent rolls as the pastry/dough pocket).

    Stuffed peppers? They're not my fave, but they can be pretty good.
