Ground beef recipes please!!

Phoenix_Rising

I don't know if it's been posted here already, but someone suggested this to me and it was fantastic! I'm not sure of the calorie counts, you'd want to look them up.

ground beef (I used turkey though)
corn
cream of mushroom soup
mushrooms (I love mushrooms and add them to everything)

Mix all that together, put into casserole dish.

Cover casserole dish with tator tots. (I used tator tot "crowns" that I found.... like tator tots but cut in half, so they were thinner.)

Bake at 375 or 400 until it looks done..... 35 or 40 minutes maybe? (I am so not a cook)

Sprinkle with shredded cheese, bake a couple more minutes.

Voila!!

DISCLAIMER: I am not a cook. I don't pretend to be. This is my "recipe". Take it for what it's worth!! :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

For chili, I use the ground beef, black beans, kidney beans, red and green pepper, corn, and onion. Lots of beans and veggies make it a great choice! I also love tacos/burritos/quesadillas with ground beef and pinto beans mixed together. Add some spices like cumin, chili powder, garlic, paprica, pepper, and/or salsa...and voila! I also think burgers are actually a healthy choice - IF you use a low calorie whole wheat bun, and add lettuce, tomato, and onion. Sloppy Joes too! Another idea is a modified cheese steak of sorts: ground beef, sauteed mushrooms/onions/peppers (all seasoned with garlic, salt, pepper, oregano, etc.). Fill half of a whole wheat pita and melt a slice of low fat provolone cheese on top. With the added veggies, the meat goes farther and so do the calories!

Family Favorite Cheeseburger Pasta - from Heathy Cooking magazine

1 1/2 cups uncooked whole wheat penne pasta
3/4 lb. beef
2 Tbsp. finely chopped onion
1 can diced tomatoes
2 Tbsp. pickle relish
2 Tbsp. mustard
2 Tbsp. ketchup
1 tsp steak seasoning
1/4 tsp. seasoned salt
3/4 cup reduced-fat shredded cheddar

Cook pasta. In a skillet, brown beef and onion, drain. Drain pasta and add to skillet. Stir in the rest of the ingredients. Bring to a boil, reduce heat and simmer uncovered for 5 min. Sprinkle with cheese, remove from heat, cover and let stand until cheese is melted. Garnish with green onions if desired.

It's already in the food data base, but is 391 calories for 1 1/2 cups. My husband and 2 little boys love, love, love this. It makes 4 servings, but that is barely enough because everyone likes it so much.
