Dinner ideas with hamburger

I'm making taco salad, not real original but yummy. My new favorite recent discovery though is stuffed peppers. I don't have my own recipe, but you can find them everywhere, I've even seen some on here. The mixture usually consists of hamburger, rice, tomato sauce and spices.

I'm going to have my aunt post hers on here because she makes awesome hamburgers that are low in calories and definitely worth it.....if you are doing actual burgers, dont forget the orowheat buns, thin for 100 calories.

I make tacos with corn tortillas. Lower calorie than the usual flour tortillas. You can warm the tortillas in the microwave to get them more pliable. I would love to hear more recipes. I eat a lot of 99% fat free ground turkey and am always interested in hearing new ways to use it!

I make spinach and rice using ground beef. This is a lebanese dish!

Ingredients:

3 blocks of frozen CHOPPED spinach.
1 Onion, diced
Tablespoon olive oil
1 lb ground beef
2 teaspoon allspice
Salt to taste
Olive Oil
1 bunch cilantro, chopped
Garlic minced
White rice, cooked

Directions:

In a pot add oil and sautee onions until clear, add ground beef and cook until meat is no longer pink. Add salt and allspice and mix. Take the defrosted spinach and rinse all the ice out of it then squeeze all the water from it. Place spinach in pot and mix with ground beef. One mixed add water in the pot until it is um, not soupy but there is enough water to boil lol. I eyeball it so I don't know how much to tell you to put. Just make sure there isn't too much water because the spinach will leak water too. You just want enough to see the water boiling through the spinach, does that make sense? Okay, so boil and cover to cook for about 30 to 45 minutes. The spinach will get darker. In a pan, sautee the garlic and chopped cilantro together with olive oil. Add to the spinach after the spinach has cooked for about 30 minutes or so, then cover and cook for another 10 minutes.

Serve with rice and squeeze lemon juice on top.

The lemon juice is the most important part. I makes the dish!

2 Ideas
Chili-
Saute the meat with some onion, garlic and bell pepper. Drain fat(hopefully there isn't much!). Add in a can of diced tomatoes, an 8oz can of tomato sauce, beans (I like black beans and pinto beans but use whatever you like), a small can of green chiles, chili powder and cumin to taste. I would think a 1 cup serving would be around 375 cals but you can enter it in the recipe tool to be sure.

Black bean burgers
In a food processor mix the beef with a can of black beans, drained, rinsed. Also add in chili powder, garlic powder, cumin, minced onion, and about 1/3 cup of salsa. Pulse until slightly smooth and beans are chunky. Divide into 6 patties and grill on an indoor grill pan or skillet (these fall apart fairly easily so outdoor grilling isn't recommended.) Serve on sandwich thins or any low cal bun you like. Add avocado as a topper. Approx 363 calories each if served with an avocado slice.

Also cook your hamburger and drain fat and rinse it helps get alot of the fat off to!
