Quick! Ground beef meal for tonight

I had planned on posting for a nice meatloaf recipe (mine isn't so good), but since the beef is not fully defrosted I think I am going to have to fry it up before I do anything with it. :no2 I have 2 lbs of meat.

I do NOT want anything with red tomato sauce tonight, we've had too many italian meals lately.

We are dairy-free as well.

Ideas?

Got any beans and tomatoes? You could make chili.

You could always defrost in the microwave :bag

If you have some dairy-free substitutes, you could do tater tot casserole or shepherd's pie.

BBQ sandwiches? (like, sloppy joes, I mean) If that sounds good, I can share my recipe for the sauce - I'm sure you've got all the stuff in your house already.

fry up with an onion, garlic, any other vegetables you fancy; stock cube for extra flavor :duck (sorry, no tomatoes); stuff into peppers or zucchini or similar; cover with cheese, oven for 35 mins :)

I do, but I really can't stomach anything with tomatoes today--definitely tomatoed out! We have chili almost weekly, but thanks for the suggestion!

No lettuce or tomatoes at the moment and only tortilla chips which would work IMO.

I'm out of potatoes and we don't tend to buy tater tots. Can you give me your tator tot casserole recipe for future use?

That sounds really good to me right now, but I know that at least 1 kid and dh won't eat it. Can you give the recipe anyway? Maybe I'll give them something else :giggle

That sounds good, too. I wish I had some peppers or zucchini. ATM, I have only carrots and frozen veggies in the house--mixed veggies, broccoli and maybe some corn.

:giggle at your tomato

OK, forget the peppers. Cook rice, mix it with the beef, cover it with dairy-free cheese or breadcrumbs and bake for 20mins

The swedes have a 'kiddy favorite' something like this, let me see if I can find it...

Re: Quick! Ground beef meal for tonight

I'm usually good at making something out of nothing and tonight I have no imagination whatsoever. Just feeling spent.

I have rice, I have an onion, I have carrots, I have spices, I have some frozen veggies,

I wonder if the BBQ stuff that Katiemae suggested would work over rice :think I could then make a veggie on the side.

I'm too lazy to make a pie crust at the moment, or I'd make a pot pie with meat, gravy and mixed veggies.
