Hey guys, I need help 🥺
I have a bunch of hamburger to cook and I don’t know what to make out of it.
I’ve done hamburgers multiple times & SOS.
I have no spaghetti sauce, so spaghetti is out.
No tortillas or chips so burritos/dip is out.
I have no milk so anything that involves that is out.
I just don’t know what to make 😔
Suggestions?
thank for the original creator Amanda Jo Pies

Old Fashioned Cabbage Rolls
Ingredients
1 cup COOKED long-grain rice (or similar variety)
1.5 pounds lean ground beef (or ‘extra lean’)
1.5 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
1 large egg
1 yellow onion , peeled and minced
⅓ cup parsley , roughly chopped
3 cloves garlic , minced
1.5 teaspoons salt
½ teaspoon black pepper
½ teaspoon dried dill
½ teaspoon onion powder
½ to 1 teaspoon red chili flakes (optional)
42 ounces tomato sauce , divided (Three 398 millilitre cans or 14 ounce cans (roughly 5 cups). See point 5 below in recipe ‘Notes.’)
1 medium head green cabbage (you’ll need about 18 leaves for the rolls and another 8 to 10 or so for the bottom of the dish and over top.)
half cup of water (leftover from boiling cabbage)
fresh dill , chopped (garnish, optional)
Directions
Cook rice per package instructions and lay to one side. Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit at this point too.
In a large bowl combine ground beef with Worcestershire sauce, egg, cooked rice, onion, parsley, garlic, salt, pepper, dill, onion powder, red chili flakes (if using) and ½ cup of tomato sauce. Mix until combined.
In a large point of boiling water, add head of cabbage and boil for 8 to 10 minutes (carefully turn over partway through). Carefully remove. Don’t discard water because you will need to re-boil the cabbage as you start to peel off the leaves and you will need some of the water for your sauce.Note: Don’t fill pot all the way up because the cabbage will displace some of the water. Before boiling water, test how much the water will displace by placing the head of cabbage in the pot.
Once cabbage is cool enough to handle, carefully remove leaves and cut out core from each leaf. Once you start taking leaves off, you’ll likely need to add the cabbage back to the boiling water (to soften more leaves). Just boil for another bit, let cool enough to handle and continue removing leaves.
Place some cabbage leaves on the bottom of a deep 9″ x 13″ baking dish or roasting pan. Taking one leaf at a time, distribute about ¼ cup of ground beef mixture on top and wrap up (fold in sides and roll up, placing in prepared dish, seam side down. Continue with remaining ground beef mixture/leaves.
Combine remaining tomato sauce with ½ cup of cabbage water. Whisk to incorporate everything. Pour over top of cabbage rolls.
Meatloaf. Meatballs. Scramble meat up add gravy cook and serve over noodles
Porcupine Meatballs, Spanish rice, Taco rice or Taco Spaghetti, Hamburger and gravy
Cooked hamburger is great in fried cabbage, onions and noodles.
Cheeseburger macaroni, Salisbury steak and gravy, meat loaf, taco soup, meatball subs.
Maybe you have a neighbor you can barter with for tomato paste and sauce and/or spaghetti sauce for whatever you have extra or a plate of the spaghetti. Just a thought.
Meatballs, use a variety of sauces. Cocktail, specialty mustards, horseradish sauce. Or make large meatballs stuffed with cheese.
I brown it drain it throw in ziplock baggies and freeze to use another time , some I even season for tacos n freeze

Sloppy Joe Sandwich😍😍
Ingredients
1 pound lean ground beef
½ medium onion, chopped
¼ cup chopped green pepper
⅔ cup ketchup
1½ teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
1 teaspoon ground mustard
½ teaspoon garlic powder
⅛ teaspoon cayenne pepper
8 slices Texas toast or hearty white bread
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
4 tablespoons butter
Instructions
Add ground beef to a nonstick pan placed over medium heat. Use a wooden spoon to break it apart as it cooks. As soon as you have it crumbled, add the onion and green pepper. Cook until beef is no longer pink and onion and pepper is softened.
Add ketchup, dry mustard, garlic powder, Worcestershire sauce, and cayenne pepper. Stir to combine well and cook over medium-low heat for 5 minutes. Remove from heat.
For each sandwich, spread ¼ cup cheese on top of one slice of bread. Top with sloppy joe mixture. Place second piece of bread on top.
Heat griddle or nonstick pan over medium heat. Add ½ tablespoon butter, let it melt and place sandwich on top. Cook until bottom is golden, lift sandwich with a spatula, place another ½ tablespoon of butter down, and flip sandwich over. Cook until cheese is melted.

Fried potatoes with ground beef and Italian seasoning. I add garlic to it and chopped onion. Cook the beef and drain the grease. Use the pan to fry potatoes thinly sliced or cube and par boil then add to the pan. Add your ground beef already cooked add the Italian seasoning onion and chopped garlic. Cook until the potatoes are done. I like it with ketchup and hot sauce.
Sloppy Joe’s. I make my own sauce with Ketchup, mustard, and a little bit of sugar.
I just gotta say, I am so thankful for this group. Thanks to everyone who has put in suggestions, I made some meat balls tonight and i now have suggestions that should last me a lifetime. I really appreciate you all! ❤️
How about Cottage pie. Brown the meat and add veggies (a can of mixed veggies works really well or frozen mixed veggies… Corn, green beans, peas, carrots) and a little gravy. Then make mashed potatoes and spread over the top and bake until potatoes brown a bit. Sooooo good.!
Just crumble it, season with salt and pepper. When browned we’ll, remove from heat let cool. Put in quart sized freezer bags and freeze. I flash freeze flat then stand or lay flat depending on freezer space. You’ll have ground beef ready to go whenever you want to make pasta sauce, chili, soup. I keep my freezer stocked anytime ground beef is on sale.
