Forgive me if this has been covered before but I'm looking for some new recipes for Gr beef. I have to face it, its become budget time for me, and also we buy our beef by the 1/4 so we always have a lot of ground on hand. I'm not complaining just looking for new things. Got any good ideas? I've had just about all the goulash I can stand. We like the usual burgers and tacos. Not much for the stroganoff type things though. What else is out there? I'd like to make something like the sirloin burger soup that campbell's has, or some variation. thanks
A ridiculously easy ground beef recipe is one of my favorites from childhood. Mom probably used it because it was always budget time at our house. Brown a pound or 2 of ground beef, drain, and add a can or 2 of red kidney beans, juice and all. Let it simmer in the pan for as long as you feel like, but be careful not to boil off the juice. Longer it simmers, better it tastes. You can add salt & pepper to taste, and I've been known to toss in a few drops of tabasco and maybe some mushrooms and/or onions, or even onion flakes. Mom always served with boiled potatoes and a veggie, so that's usually what I do too. Couldn't be easier, and tastes great! DW loves it too (maybe just because I'm cooking it, though!)

We like Hamburger steaks. Make a patty bigger than you would for regular hamburgers and grill or pan fry. Top with sliced cooked onions and brown gravy. Serve with rice and a veggie. Yummy
