Hamburger burger

Trilby · 02-21-2006, 08:32 AM

What can one do with hamburger? I've made meatloaf, rice and hamburger balls, spaghetti sauce, burgers, shepard's pie...WHAT ELSE IS THERE? I need some ideas, please. I'm getting sick of the same old. Oh, and it can't be too exotic, either, or kid won't eat it.

On the side of the Bisquick box is a recipe for Cheesebuger Pie. It's a family favorite at the glatt house. My son is an extremeley picky eater and he always eats this. It's very easy too.

BigV's porcupine meatballs are very good - and entertaining for the kids.

A hamburger quiche. Kids like eggs and burger. Spice it up with some onions or peppers.

Link please?

When I was a tot we had Ground beef cooked with onions and green peppers this was added to cooked elbow mac. I don't remember the seasoning, but I'd use either a tomato based thing, a cream based thing, or miso and tahini with a dash of hot or black pepper.

By thing I think I mean sauce.

BTW, what do you call a cow with no legs?

Ground Beef.

hooray!

that hamb./ elbow mac/ tomato sauce thing was always called Johnny Marzetti at my house. Of course, we also had a thing called Chinese Pie, so, it could be that my mom just made stuff up.

My mom made a concoction she called "Chuck Wagon Beef" which was browned hamburger meat (drain fat), a can of Bush's Baked Beans (gotta be Bush's), either egg noodles or white rice (depends on availability/taste) and season with Worcestershire sauce. I have had success using soy for the salt flavor instead of the Worcestershire sauce. This recipe lends itself well to include many leftovers as well as experimentation with ingredients and spices to taste.

I still make it sometimes.

Yeah we called it "Mrs. Zierk's Stuff" because Mrs. Zierk taught my mom the recipe.

How bout some good old SOS?

Will the kid eat eggplant? moussaka is good.
try making surprise burgers, where the burger is two thin patties sealed together on the edges with a surprise filling in the middle, cheese or pickles or something.
Also maybe try: saute some onions and mushrooms together in olive oil until they are soft and start to caramelize. Throw on a big splash of balsamic vinegar and another of soy sauce and a little powdered or fresh, finely chopped garlic, let the liquid sizzle away. Cook the meat in the onions and add more vinegar and soy sauce in equal amounts to taste, stirring until nicely browned. Serve over noodles or rice.

Reinforce the green-bean/cream of mushroom/Tater Tot topped casserole with ground beef, precooked and stirred into the uncut cream of M soup along with the green beans.
