thanks for sharing that cream of mushroom recipe I'm going to bookmark it. That opens up tons of possibilities for cooking!

eh, white wine really doesn't go with red meat. Darn!

What I was thinking was cooking your meat in red wine, maybe some herbs. serve with noodles or even rice would work. But I don't think it'd have a good flavor with white wine.

I was considering just making some sort of a gravy and doing that. Like I would if I made the meat pie. Kinda make the filling and serve over rice instead of in a crust.

okay - so how about browning your meat - leave in the grease. Adding some beef stock and flour. Mushrooms if you have them. serve over rice.

I'd also add some onion powder and some garlic powder to add some taste. Salt & pepper

We were going to have meatballs & red sauce for dinner. I think I've now changed my mind I think we're going to do the meat and gravy with rice.

O.k.--here's what I ended up doing...


Brown the ground beef with 1/2 an onion. Drain the fat. Added 3 diced carrots. Added some garlic powder and onion powder as well as some bouillion and some water. Cooked for a few minutes Then, I made a slurry with some corn starch and water and thickened up the gravy. Added some pepper and voila--done.

We will serve over rice.

It went over well with a high percentage of diners enjoying it.

Ds17yo had thirds, dh had seconds, dd11yo ate a portion (she generally doesn't eat meat) ds13yo balks at anything that's not plain, but he did eat rice and broccoli, dd1yo loved it, dd5yo noticed onions, so stuck to rice and broccoli.

add:
3/4 c. ketchup
1 tbsp of mustard
3 tbsp brown sugar
1 tsp-ish (I eyeball it) garlic powder
salt & pepper to taste

keep cooking until it's nice and warm (only a couple more minutes).
Morgan, I made this for dinner and it's DELISH! Thanks so much! No more canned Manwich sauce for us!

that was my exact thought Karen. It's such a yummy recipe. I found it online, but I don't remember where.

That sloppy joe recipe is going into my repetoire for sure--looks easy and yummy and no junk in it. I'll have to actually make it when dh isn't home though--he doesn't like Sloppy Joe's. I may also try it with lentils--someone on here was using lentils instead of beef and that sounded fantastic (and cheap), too!

Default Re: Quick! Ground beef meal for tonight

it is super easy. I can have dinner on the table in 20 minutes on sloppy joe night - and that because the tots take 20 min to cook. the meat is ready in about 15 from prep to finish.

we ended up having ground burger with a wine and mushroom sauce, served over rice. It was Granted I have no clue what I put in it...so I will have to guess again next time.
