    Salt
    Pepper
    Cayenne pepper
    Paprika
    Oregano
    Parsley
    And sprinkle some dry beef stick

    Cook until the moisture drys out and have it with ice berg lettuce, onion tomato and mint yogurt on a wholemeal pitta

    Use a teaspoon of all spices except ceyenne just use a quarter if even

    Lovely with chicken too

    Sloppy Joes! Oh how I miss these messy little Happiness filled buns. Dripping goodness all over my hands. Some ruffles bbq chips providing good company to the grand flavorgasm ball. A Dr. Pepper to splash your taste buds with refreshing delight.
    I don't even know why I don't have them anymore, but it just so happens I took out some ground beef to defrost last night. So maybe I'll have it today.



    (Midnight spontaneous brain storming)

    Look across the table. Little Johnny is happy, he's on his third napkin. Mom cracks a casual smile, and reaches for tobasco. Dad gives a playful concerned look at mom and says "Really Hun?, you know what that does to you, and it's Wednesday night." Dad waits for a response, but mom slowly takes another bite, and closes her eyes as she does so. She disregards an immediate response.
    Back across the table little Johnny is crunching loudly as he takes a bite from his meal. He had wedged ruffles into the last half of his Sloppy Joe.
    Mom grabs a napkin with one hand, and reaches for her Dr. Pepper. She finishes off her last bit with a chug. The aluminum can slams the table top. An appropriately lady like belch releases into a napkin pressed against her tomato stained lips and she finally responds..."and?, anyways I used the headache last week". (lights dim, Curtains close)

    I apologize in advance for going a bit off topic. I'm kinda bored and haven't typed up a short short story in over a decade. just out of the blue. I know it belongs in "Chit-Chat".

    Chef John is awesome! Such good recipes!

    I made some beef and buckwheat patties this weekend. They taste like mini meatloaves but in patty form that you brown in a skillet. It was my first time using buckwheat and I thought they came out fantastic. It's just 1# ground beef, 1c cooked buckwheat, 1 egg, garlic powder, onion powder, 1/2c milk, and S&P. This recipe made 7-5oz patties at 180 cals per patty.

    Oh, I also made a spaghetti squash with a ground turkey and tomato sauce, but I think ground beef would sub nicely.

    He is! His recipes are really good, but the main reason I need to get a fix of his videos is because the way he speaks his recipes makes me genuinely happy. I always watch his videos with a smile.

    Edited to fix broken quote

    I agree, his narration style is the best part of his videos :) I think it's a love it or hate it kind of thing because some people seem really annoyed by it in the comments...lol

    Maybe it's just me, but I used to take ground beef, diced up bacon and put it on top my kale with peppers and chipotle sauce. Called it a "man salad". It sounds weird but its good. And keto.

    Pioneer Woman's recipe for hamburger soup is really good. It has 12 servings for just over 200 calories each, according to the MFP calculator. Stuffed Pepper soup is another good one; not a PW though. Lots of veggies and protein in both. I usually will make a full batch, let cool, and then portion out into individual servings and freeze in ziplocs. Such is the life in a household of one

    I make a taco meat sauce, and use it for (obviously) tacos, but then if there is any left over, it tastes great over a bed of greens and some sour cream as dressing. Sort of taco without the taco shell. I take it for lunch a lot and dont even bother to reheat the meat mixture - there is just something really satisfying about the contrast of the lettuce greens and the spicy ground beef mixture with the cooling effect of the sour cream..............

    I made a delicious meal using ground beef, penne, acorn squash, roasted brussel sprouts, and onion, and seasoned with cinnamon and nutmeg, topped with swiss cheese. So good! I browned the beef with onion, simmered the beef with the pasta and spices in chicken broth until the pasta was cooked, tossed in the brussels and cooked squash, topped with cheese and cooked in the oven for 5-10 minutes. I have a similar recipe using ground sausage and butternut squash.

    I brown it with taco seasoning, spread a bit over salad (weighing it, of course) and use salsa as a dressing. Super low cal. Just have to watch the sodium in the salsa.
