I'm so sick of spaghetti and baked ziti that I may just puke if I have to eat it again! We also do tacos a lot and I'm not a fan. Any ideas for what to do with ground beef that's quick and easy and kid-friendly?

Meatloaf. That's if you like it. Dh and I do. Just use seasoning, crackers, egg, milk, and ketchup - mix it all together then put on 375 for 45 minutes and it's done.

Now Karen, being midwest gal I would expect you to know this. Brown 1 lb. of hamburger, drain, and mix with 2 cans Cream of Mushroom soup and 1 pkg of frozen corn or 2 cans, whatever you have (you could also use green beans if you prefer). Dump it into a 13x9 baking dish and cover completely with tater tots. Bake in a 400 degree oven for about 40-45 minutes (or until your tots are heated all the way through!). Seriously-My family would eat this all the time if I let them. This post has been edited by 4littleladies on Apr 9 2008, 10:44 AM -------------------- ~*~Jennifer~*~

That is a crowd pleaser here too! How about sloppy joes or cheesburger pie? It used to be on the Bisquick Box and my kids ask for it all the time, super easy: 1 lb lean (at least 80%) ground beef 1 large onion, chopped (1 cup) 1/2 teaspoon salt 1 cup shredded Cheddar cheese (4 oz) 1/2 cup Original Bisquick® mix 1 cup milk 2 eggs 1. Heat oven to 400°F. Spray 9-inch glass pie plate with cooking spray. 2. In 10-inch skillet, cook beef and onion over medium heat 8 to 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until beef is brown; drain. Stir in salt. Spread in pie plate. Sprinkle with cheese. 3. In small bowl, stir remaining ingredients with fork or wire whisk until blended. Pour into pie plate. 4. Bake about 25 minutes or until knife inserted in center comes out clean. |

I make sweet and sour meatballs. Your fry them first for a little while and then you transfer them into and oven safe pan, you can make your own sweet and sour sauce or you can buy a jar of it. I serve it with rice and veggies. You can also used mushroom soup instead of sweet and sour sauce and serve them mashed potatoes and veggies.

I throw in a Cream of whatever soup into mine as well . Sometimes I throw in a cup of peas and corn - 1/2 cup each. If I don't really have enough hamburg and I'm really craving meatloaf, I'll throw in a cup each. I usually make mine in bread loaf tins because it's the only thing I have that's oven safe and will make a decent amount of meatloaf. I do have cake tins that I'll make it in, but it's just not the same when it's "flat". But I "draw" in it then - happy faces or a rainbow We all love meatloaf here This post has been edited by Teesa®© on Apr 9 2008, 11:21 AM |

Hamburger horseshoes...... Put a layer of toast down on the plate (toasted or just plain bread) then a hamburger patty (cooked)(or you can use any kind of meat), then a layer of french fries (cooked or baked) then a layer of cheese sauce. YUM!!! -------------------- ~*Karen*~

Yep. You can use any kind of bread you want. Most times when you order it in a restaurant it comes on Texas toast. -------------------- ~*Karen*~

We make this quite a bit but we use frozen broccoli and put cheese on top. The kids LOVE it! This is the only time I can get them to eat broccoli. But it is made the same way with the Cream of Mushroom soup. Good Stuff!! -------------------- |

Well, we tried the tater tot casserole and it didn't go over well... the kids are so freaking picky! They refused to eat a single bite. AAAARGH! What could be more kid friendly? Geesh. Now they are begging for snacks which they aren't getting.

i'm not a huge fan of Kraft Dinner... but when I do make it, I put ground beef in it.
Um... you can mix it with onions, garlic, celery, spinach, rice and some cream of whatever soup (and-or ricotta cheese), add some chopped up bits of italian sausage, and stuff it in those huge pasta shells... cover with some spag sauce and cheese, put in oven until heated through or cheese melts... @ 350 -------------------- The richest people don't have the best of everything, they make the best of everything.

I know it's a little late, but maybe you can make this next time. Monica posted it when I was looking for ground turkey recipes and I love it! I make this with the ground turkey, but I bet it is good with the hamburger too.
1 lb lean ground beef or ground turkey 1/2 c chopped onion (I add minced garlic too) 1/2 tsp salt 1/8 tsp pepper 3/4 c uncooked rice 1 c water 2 c zucchini (about one good sized one), sliced about 1/4 inch slices 1 large tomato chopped 1 can or box tomato basil soup (like Progressive or Campbells select, not the kind you add water to) 2 c shredded mozerella cheese Heat oven to 375, spray 13x9 baking dish. In skillet, cook meat and onion over med-high heat until thoroughly cooked, stirring frequently. Drain, sprinkle with salt and pepper. In baking dish combine rice and water, stir well. Layer meat, zucchini and tomato. Pour soup over top. Cover tightly with foil. Bake 40 minutes, uncover, sprinkle cheese over top and return to oven 10 minutes or until edges are bubbly. -------------------- |

Yeah, but kids like everything that's NOT healthy. Amy - I'm sorry they didn't like it. I think my kids would like it without all the veggie stuff and cream of mushroom stuff. So basically just the hamburger and tater tots. -------------------- ~*Karen*~
