Hamburger Gravy

January 23, 2014 by Margaret 6 Comments

Do you ever start browning hamburger with no plan? On crazy days I’ll grab hamburger from the freezer and start browning it in hopes inspiration strikes before I crispy-critter the hamburger and have to start all over.

Hamburger Gravy is another fast easy dinner for your busy days. My husband likes because it’s still meat and potatoes. The kids like it because – I have no idea but I’m going to complain.

1 lb. ground beef
2-3 Tablespoons flour
2 cups beef broth ( I use bouillon cubes)
2 tablespoons ketchup
2 teaspoons Worcestershire Sauce
salt and pepper to taste

Brown hamburger, drain. Add flour. Stir until hamburger is lightly coated. Add beef broth, ketchup, and Worcestershire sauce. Bring to boil. Simmer while you set the table and then serve.

We like hamburger gravy over potatoes or rice.

Shepherd’s Pie

November 5, 2013 by Margaret 7 Comments

Yet again, this is one of my “I’m in a hurry” dinners. I really like soup this time of year and its almost homemade even if you are opening a couple of cans.

Shepherd’s Pie

1 pound hamburger, browned and drained

1 – 10.5 ounce can Vegetable Beef soup

1 can Sweet Corn

4 servings instant potatoes (following directions)

1 cup cheese.

Stir together in sauce pan until heated through. Pour into large casserole dish. Spread potatoes out to cover soup. Bake in 350 degree oven for 20 minutes. Top with cheese and bake until cheese has melted, about 5 minutes.

Porcupine Meatballs

July 20, 2013 by Margaret 12 Comments

Porcupine Meatballs are a family favorite at my house. Even my picky eater gets excited when I make these. I had them growing up and then was reintroduced to them by my sister-in-law. I like them because they are easy to make

and don’t take a long time to cook. Oh, and because they taste really good. If I get dinner started late (which happens a lot) they cook fast enough that I don’t have to rethink dinner- always a plus!

Porcupine Meatballs

1 pound ground beef

1/2 cup bread crumbs

1 cup instant rice (I like brown rice)

1 egg

1 teaspoon onion powder or finely chopped onion

1/2 teaspoon salt

dash pepper

***

10 3/4 ounce can condensed tomato soup

1/2 cup water

2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce

Mix meat, bread crumbs, rice, egg, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Shape into about 20 meatballs and place in skillet. Mix soup, water, and Worcestershire sauce. Pour over meatballs. Bring sauce to boil and simmer for about 20 minutes.

We like to serve with mashed potatoes and mixed vegetables.

Enjoy!
