Looking for hamburger recipes!!

[Hanta Yo]

Ranchwife,

Here is a recipe I got from Girl Scouts when I was a kid. I don't remember the name of it, but it sure is good!! I'm sure most of you have made the same thing once or twice in your lives!

For each serving cut a piece of heavy foil 18" x 18" (or thereabouts). Take 1/4-1/3 lb grd beef, make into patty. Place in the middle of the foil. Slice up some onion, potatoes, carrots ad celery and place on top of hamburger patty. Close foil up very tight, place on hot coals for about 30 min. Fun to eat out of the foil (like cooking outside while camping) and the taste is out of this world for such a simple meal.

I just made this tonight for supper and it was awesome!! (not just my opinion)

I found some more "oldies, but goodies" hamburger recipes.

Chuckwagon Bean Casserole

1 lb. hamburger
1 #4 can pork and beans
1 t. prepared mustard
1/4 t. salt
1/4 t. pepper
1 small onion
1 T. Wor. sauce
Add a little brown sugar or molasses, whichever you prefer.
Saute hamburger until quite brown and separated. Drain off fat.
Add beans and other ingredients. Stire will, be careful not to
mash up beans. Place in covered casserole dish. 350 for
40 min. (When I'm in a hurry, I just cook it on top of the stove.
Works great.)


Poor Man's Steak (this was on this thread earlier without the exact ing.)

Mix 1 cup club crackers, 1 c. cold water. Let set 2 minutes.
Add 3 lbs. ground beef, salt and pepper. Let stand several hours.
Make patties and roll in flour. Brown on both sides. Pour one can cream
of mushroom soup diluted with some milk, over the patties. Bake 1 hr.

SUPER EASY TACO SALAD
(this was my mother's recipe and she passed away in 1979-so it has been around awhile~)
1/2 head lettuce
1 med. onion, chopped
2 or 3 tomatoes, cut up
1 c. cooked rice (yea, rice!)
1/2 pkg. corn chips (she says 49 cent size~ can't find that anymore)
1 can chili (no beans)
1 c. or more of shredded cheese

Place a layer of corn chips in bottom of baking dish. Add 1 can hot chili over top. Put hot rice on top of chili. Add cheese and onion. Put in 300 degree oven for a few minutes. Cheese will melt. Remove and add lettuce and tomatoes. Serve on plates and top with your favorite taco sauce.

My daughter-in-law gave me this great cookbook for Christmas. It is by Taste of Home called Ground Beef Cookbook. Haven't found a recipe I don't like and usually have the ingredients. Has meat loaf. slow cooker, bean and rice, pasta, pizzas, mexican recipes.
Order at: www.reimanpub.com I would send a sample recipe but don't want to get in trouble with copywrite laws.

Here is a favorite out of our cooperative magazine, which will go better this fall on a chilly day.

Cheeseburger Soup
1 1/2 cups chopped onion
2 cups shredded carrots
1 cup diced celery
2 tsp dried basil
2 tsp parsley flakes
1 1/2 sticks butter

8 cups diced potatoes
1/2 cup flour
16 oz. velveeta cheese
3 cups milk
1 1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp pepper
1/2 cup sour cream

Saute first 5 ingredients in 1/4 cup butter for approximately 10 min. Add broth, potatoes and ground beef. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat, cover and simmer for 10-12 min or until potatoes are tender.

Here I was thinking that a hamburger was just that. What an array of suggestions you have Ranchwife. Your family will be able to have a new hamburger every day for a couple of weeks with these suggestions.
Our hamburgers over here generally have a meat pattie (or steak) with onions and barbeque sauce or tomato sauce. Other additives include bacon,egg and lettuce. Your imagination is the only limitation.

Mexican Lasagna is pretty popular around this place and is easy to make.

2 lbs hamburger, cooked and drained (onion and season to taste)
handful of flour totillias tore into pieces
2 cups shredded cheese
1 large can refried beans
1 small can sliced black olives (optional)
2 can 4 oz chopped green chiles/mild or hot

1 large jar Picante hot sauce/equal amount of water mixed together (this scared me the first time but it works out. Layer as you go with liquid

OR 1 can red enchilada sause and 1 can green enchilada sauce

don't use both Picante and the sauces

layer the ingredients as you see fit but top with cheese. I use a big Corning ware casserole dish/bake an hour or so/350*

This is hard to screw up and sometimes I add some sliced potatos for a change. I have a great cookbook called "Cookin for Saddle Sores" that is so fun.

Serve with plenty of Margaritas, sour cream, quacamole if you like

Enjoy

Virginia and Darlene's Special from Cookin with Saddle Sores

1/2 gallon Peach Tree Schnapps

open bottle and throw away the lid

The more riders and 1/2 gallons, the better, amazing!

When My first X remarried to a "hand" that worked for a Cheep SOB He woukd give them all the hamburger they wanted - he kill a steer and keep al the good parts and give them the burger. 10 years of this and she knew everything there was to know about Hamburger Cooking.

I worked part time for Denver Meat and could walk in the cold box and take what I wanted - I would take stakes and… over for them (my kids) but that would upset her husband Some times you just can't win.

I see good ideas are already posted but you may find something here
