A POUND OF GROUND BEEF - AND NO TIME

Tinkrbl44 — Sun, 31 Jul 2022 17:40:27 GMT

This happened to me the other night. I had a nice package of ground beef on sale, and I would have liked to have eaten an hour ago. Burgers seemed to be the fastest option, but wonder what the cooks here rely on.

So ....... what would you do if time was of the essence?

Put some seasonings in the beef and make some burgers .... or do you have another quick meal you fall back on?

Tacos. I always have taco seasoning on hand as well as cabbage to slice and also add shredded cheese.

Maggie & Mary's have a soup we like that can be embellished, there are several recipes online. It's Hungarian Mushroom Soup, we add browned ground hamburger and continue cooking the soup for about 1/2 hour. Sour cream added at the end, it's delicious. Even eating it in the summer which is kind of crazy but i crave soups.

Tacos are the go to in our house. I always have tortillas, shredded cheese, and salsa on hand.

I always have bags of California vegetablels in the freezer. I make rice, cook the burger, add the veggies (Be sure to drain the oil well) add whatever spices I choose and put the burger over the rice. Simple and kind of quick.

Stacked enchiladas are a quick, easy favorite of ours. Brown the hamburger using a package of the powdered taco seasoning for flavor. Use corn tortillas. Place one tortilla flat on the plate, sprinkle the meat to thinly cover the tortilla. Add some of your favorite enchilada sauce (red or green or queso.) Cover with Mexican blend shredded cheese then repeat with the same steps. I can eat two, but my husband wants three or four. Pop in the microwave for a minute to melt the cheese. Serve with picante sauce, sour cream, and corn tortilla chips.

@rockygems123 Is it rude for me to drool all over my keyboard? LOL

My dear DIL is Hispanic by ethnicity and a wonderful cook of everything but I'm going to copy this and send it to her. My DS would devour this!

I would have fried it and made a taco salad.

I try to keep a lb of taco meat in the freezer for quick meals.

@Mom2Dogs & @Tinkrbl44

One trick I have is buying pre-made hamburger patties & freez them, ours are 3.5 oz each so I can defrost whatever multiples work for the dish and not have to use an entire pound if I don't need it.

@Tinkrbl44 My favorite thing.

Lb of hamburger (Brown it)

Box of cilantro rice (Prepare as directed-I add a can of black beans while this is cooking to soften them up.)

Stir these in with the hamburger & rice:

Can of corn (Or fresh is amazing)

Jar of salsa

Then add your cheese, lettuce, sour cream, if you like.

Eat with Tostito Touch Of Lime Chips.

It would be meatloaf for me - or if I'm really in a hurry, stuffed meat cups I can do in the microwave in about 10 minutes or less.

Hi @Tinkrbl44 - I usually just improvise! I'll look for the original recipe after dinner and give it to you!

I would have browned and drained it and poured good jar of Bertolli Tomato and Basil over it. I always have freshly grated Parmesan cheese and spaghetti noodles.
