another thing i like to do with sloppy joe leftovers if make a sort of
"beefaroni" with elbow macaroni and shredded cheese. my family really
likes it, even better than the original joes.

I take the boiled hamburger, mix it with the rest of the ingredients, and
eeze at this point.

On the day I want to have this for dinner, I take it out of the eezer, plo
it in the crock pot, cover and cook on high for 1 hour....and low for 5 hour
If I am in a hurry,,,I just cook it on high for about 3 hours...or...I have
left it in the crock pot on low for an day in the morning...and it is ready
that evening....6-8 or more hours later.

                  From Freezer To Crock Pot Sloppy Joes

Recipe By     : frozen assets
Serving Size  : 1    Preparation Time :0:00
Categories    : Beef                             Hamburger
                Main Dishes                      Sandwiches

  Amount  Measure       Ingredient -- Preparation Method
--------  ------------  --------------------------------
   3      pounds        Ground Beef
   1      cup           chopped onion
   2      cloves        minced garlic
   1 1/2  cups          ketchup
   1      cup           chopped green bell pepper
     1/2  cup           water
   4      tablespoons   brown sugar
   4      tablespoons   prepared mustard
   4      tablespoons   vinegar
   4      tablespoons   Worcestershire sauce
   3      teaspoons     chili powder

I take the boiled hamburger, mix it with the rest of the ingredients, and
freeze at this point.

On the day I want to have this for dinner, I take it out of the freezer, plop
it in the crock pot, cover and cook on high for 1 hour....and low for 5 hours.
If I am in a hurry,,,I just cook it on high for about 3 hours...or...I have
left it in the crock pot on low for an day in the morning...and it is ready
that evening....6-8 or more hours later.

If I have any sloppy joes left...I will plan during the week when I have some
time to do one of these leftover recipes. Both of these are really quick, the

                 Ground Beef Collection III Continued #1

Categories    : Hamburger                        Beef

                        ***HERE IS KIM'S "HAMBURGER PLAN"***

Recently I found hamburger on sale so I planned out a bulk cooking of that. I pulled together my favorite recipes and some I haven't tried. Here's what I came up with, though I don't think I have enough hamburger or energy to do them all, here are many ideas ("master recipes are on the left, "secondary recipes" are indented, hope this makes sense):

1. Hamburger Patties (use raw hamburger) 2. Perdenales Chili, (make a BIG batch), also used in:

3. taco meat 4. 5-way chili 5. burritos for the freezer 6. ravioli filling 7 Mexican lasagna 8. Deep Dish Mexican Pizza 9. chili pot pies 10. empanadas

11. Freezer Stash Meatballs and Lean Meatballs

12. Swedish meatballs 13. Italian meatball subs 14. spaghetti and meatballs 15. easy meatball stew 16. School night meatball soup 17. meatball minestrone 18. Baked Ziti and Meatball casserole 19. chili meatball supper 20. scandinavian meatballs 21. sweet and sour meatballs

22. Beef Porcupines 23. Italian Meat loaf

24. Italian Meat loaf sandwiches

25. Mexican Meat loaf 26. Bierrocks 27. Cheeseburger Turnovers 28. Maid rites (crumbly hamburgers) 29. Simple Salisbury Steak (Campbell's soup recipe) 30. BBQ Beef (Bean less Sloppy Joe's) 31. Easy Ghoulash 32. Tortilla Mini Burgers

Hamburger Patties

Using raw meat, I added some onion powder, garlic powder and some seasoning salt, or sometimes I put in a half packet of onion soup mix for each pound of hamburger. I use rubber gloves to handle the hamburger (I hate trying to get that stuff off of my hands! Any how, I made about 40 patties from six pounds of hamburger. I stacked them between waxed paper and froze on a cookie sheet. After freezing, put in a Ziploc.

PEDERNALES RIVER CHILI

I think this one could be adapted to a crock pot recipe. I am going to tinker with it, let you know how it turns out!

4 pounds coarsely ground chuck (I use lean hamburger) 1 large onion, chopped 2 cloves garlic, minced 1 (28-ounce) can whole tomatoes, undrained and chopped 2 cups water 2 Tablespoons chili powder 2 teaspoons salt 1 teaspoon ground oregano 1 teaspoon ground cumin

Combine meat, onion, and garlic in a large Dutch oven; cook over medium heat until meat is browned, stirring to crumble. Drain off pan drippings. Add remaining ingredients, mixing well. Cover and simmer 1 hour, stirring occasionally. Yield: about 12 cups. (May want to double if you want to make all of the following recipes)

Taco meat

Use the chili as is! It makes a great taco meat! I serve it in "soft tacos" (burritos!) with cheese, lettuce, tomato, salsa and sour cream. MMM

5-way chili

Serve Perdenales chili over cooked pasta. Top with cooked kidney beans (canned is fine), cheese, and chopped onion. Just like the Hard Times Cafe ( a great chili restaurant out East!)

Burritos for the freezer

Perdenales chili flour tortillas cheddar cheese refried beans (optional)

1. Put about a 1/4 cup of meat (eyeball it) in the center of the tortilla, top with cheese and beans. Roll up tightly and place seam side down on a cookie sheet and freeze. 2. When frozen, put in Ziploc bag. 3. To reheat, microwave on high for 2-3 minutes.

Ravioli

I have a half moon shaped press I use to make these called the "Pocket Gourmet". Here is the recipe from the booklet, with my modifications to make if you don't have this press (has three sizes, really neat to do turnovers, pastries, all kinds of stuff!) For the dough:

3 cups flour 3 eggs 1-2 tsp. salt (to taste) 1/4 cup water 2 tbsp olive oil

1. Beat eggs. Add flour and salt, mix together. Use hands to press into a firm ball of dough. If too moist, add more flour. 2. Place ball of dough on a lightly floured surface and knead for 5-10 minutes until smooth. Cover with a towel and let rest for 10-15 minutes. 3. Roll dough with the rolling pin on a lightly floured surface until paper thin. Dough should be used immediately to avoid drying out.

How to assemble ravioli: 1. If you don't have the press, place the filling in small mounds (according to the size you want) about an inch apart from each other on HALF of the dough. 2. Take a basting brush and lightly brush water between each filling mound but not on it. The water is your "glue" to stick the pasta together. 3. Fold other half of dough (with no filling) over top the half with filling on it, pressing AROUND each filling mound to seal in the filling. Cut into squares between the sealed filling mounds. 4. Place on waxed paper or greased cookie sheet and freeze (make sure they don't stick to the cookie sheet and rip!) When frozen, place in Ziploc bag. 5. To serve, bring water to a boil. Put in frozen ravioli and cook 3-5 minutes or until al dente. Top with hot tomato sauce, alfredo sauce, whatever you like! Enjoy! (If you have the press, cut out the circles of dough with the bottom of the press, place one circle in press, add a little filling and brush water on one half of the dough edges. Press closed, making sure the filling is sealed in. Freeze on cookie sheet)

SOUTH-OF-THE-BORDER LASAGNA

1 pound ground beef (or Perdenales chili) 1 (15-ounce) can tomato sauce 1 (8-ounce) can tomato sauce 1 (1 1/4-ounce) package taco seasoning mix 1 (4.5 - ounce) can chopped green chilies, divided 4 (12-inch) flour tortillas 1 (8-ounce) container refrigerated guacamole dip 1 cup (4 ounces) shredded Monterey Jack cheese, divided 1 jalapeno pepper, sliced and seeded (optional)

1. (Don't have to do this step if you use the Perdenales chili) Brown ground beef in a skillet, stirring until it crumbles; drain. 2. Bring tomato sauce and taco seasoning mix to a boil in a medium saucepan. Reduce heat; simmer 10 minutes. Remove from heat, and reserve 1/4 cup mixture. 3. Add beef and half of green chilies to remaining tomato sauce. 4. Place 1 flour tortilla on a greased 12-inch pizza pan. (I would use a casserole dish or cake pan, lined with foil so you can lift it out later to freeze) Layer with half of meat sauce, 1 tortilla, guacamole dip, half of Monterey Jack cheese, and remaining green chilies. Top with 1 tortilla, remaining meat sauce, remaining tortilla, and reserved 1/4 cup tomato sauce. 5. Bake lasagna at 350ø for 30 minutes. Sprinkle evenly with remaining half of cheese, and bake 5 more minutes. Top with jalapeno slices, if desired. Makes 4 servings. Kim's note: You can skip the guacamole if its presence causes a riot at your house. I love guacamole, but not the mutiny it inspires in the rest of my crew! Mild salsa would be a delicious substitute. I am going to tinker with this recipe, I will post the results.

Deep Dish Mexican Pizza

from Fresh N' Easy Cookbook pamphlet from Wyler's Bouillon)

For Crust:

2 1/2 cups biscuit baking mix (use Bisquick or following recipe) 1/2 cup cornmeal (any kind, masa harina is best) 1/2 cup water 1/4 cup margarine or butter, melted

1. Preheat oven to 425 degrees. In a medium bowl (or food processor) , combine above ingredients, mixing well. 2. Grease a 15 x 10 inch baking pan/ casserole dish (this recipe makes a lot, you could use two smaller dishes, like pie plates) 2. Pat dough on bottom and up sides of well greased pan/casserole dish. Bake 10 minutes, remove from oven.

For Pizza:

1 pound ground beef (or Perdenales chili) 1/2 cup chopped onion 1 can (8 oz) your favorite tomato sauce 1 can green chilies (optional) 2 tsp. or 1 cube beef bouillon 1 tsp. chili powder 1/4 tsp. ground cumin 1 can (16 oz) refried beans 1 1/2 cups shredded cheddar cheese chopped tomatoes shredded lettuce slice pitted olives any other toppings of your choice

1. Prepare beef filling as follows or use your own (leftover chili works great!): brown onion and beef in large skillet, pour off fat. Add tomato sauce, chilies, bouillon, chili powder and cumin. 2. Cook and stir until bouillon dissolves. 3. Spread beans over crust, spread meat mixture evenly over beans. Top with cheese. Bake 10 minutes. 4. Garnish with tomatoes, lettuce and olives (or other toppings). Serves 6-8, refrigerate or freeze leftovers (this recipe is even better after a day or two in the fridge!)

Notes: I use whatever I have on hand for this recipe. I have use the following homemade biscuit mix, but I have even made biscuit dough and added the cornmeal, and then done the recipe. For the beans, I have used all kinds, they all work good as long as they are kind of thick for spreading. For the meat, I have used leftover chili, goulash, ground turkey, italian sausage, whatever you have on hand! The cheeses can be any kind, a little cheddar can go a long way if mixed with other cheeses. Do not worry if you are missing a few spices. It tastes great even if you don't have cumin or (heaven forbid!) if you run out of chili powder.

Chili Meatballs Supper

A Tex-Mex flavored dish that goes together fast with meatballs from the
freezer.

1 onion, chopped
1 small green pepper, chopped
16 oz can tomatoes, cut up
16 oz kidney beans, drained
8 oz can corn
8 oz can tomato sauce
1 tsp salt
2 tsp chili powder
1 bay leaf
24 cooked meatballs (frozen or thawed)
Cheddar cheese, grated
Corn chips

In a saucepan, combine onion, pepper, tomatoes, kidney beans, undrained corn,
tomato sauce, salt, chili powder and bay leaf. Bring to a boil. Add meatballs,
cover and simmer for 45 minutes, stirring occasionally. Remove bay leaf. Serve
in individual bowls, topped with cheese and corn chips on the side.
Yield: 4 servings.

Scandinavian Meatballs

This rich and creamy dish, seasoned with dill is made in minutes by using
cooked meatballs from your freezer. Serve with egg noodles.

1 cup sour cream
1 cup water
3 Tbsp flour
1 pkt beef bouillon granules
1/2 t dried dill weed
24 cooked meatballs (frozen or thawed)

In a medium saucepan blend sour cream, water, flour, bouillon granules, and
dill. Cook over medium heat until thick and bubbly, stirring occasionally.
Add meatballs to sauce. Cook for 15 to 20 minutes or until meatballs are hot,
stirring occasionally.
Serve over hot egg noodles. Yield: 4 servings.

Sweet and Sour Meatballs

This is not that sticky red sauce, but a sophisticated contrast of sweet and
sour flavors and various textures. Serve these Oriental inspired meatballs
with white rice.

20 oz can pineapple chunks in juice
1/2 cup water
1/4 cup cider vinegar
1/4 cup brown sugar
1 tsp soy sauce

vinegar, soy sauce, brown sugar and cornstarch in a medium saucepan and stir
until sugar and cornstarch dissolve. Cook over low heat until thick and
bubbling, stirring constantly. Add green peppers, meatballs, water chestnuts
and 1 cup of pineapple chunks (use the rest elsewhere). Heat until meatballs
are hot, stirring frequently. Serve with white rice.
Yield: 4 servings.

Beef Porcupines

This is another great recipe from "The Kids Cookbook" by Patricia Barrett and
Rosemary Dalton. I got this book for my eighth birthday and still have it! I
LOVE it! It is probably not in print anymore, but if you see a copy, pick it
up! This was the first dinner I ever cooked (with lots of help from Mom!), and
I have loved cooking ever since.

1 pound hamburger
1/2 cup cooked rice
1 small onion, chopped
1 tsp salt
1/4 tsp pepper
1 egg
1 8oz can marinara sauce (or 1 cup your favorite tomato sauce)
1/8 cup salad oil
1 can beef consomme' OR 1 cup hot water plus one beef bouillon cube
1 cup water

1. Ina medium bowl, mix ground beef, rice, onion, salt, pepper, egg, and ONLY
1/2 of the marinara sauce. Make into 8 meatballs.
2. Put oil into the frying pan. Add meatballs. Fry in oil until lightly
browned.
3. Add the rest of the marinara sauce, consomme' and water. Cook until tender,
about 40 minutes, with the pan covered. Or bake in the oven at 350 degrees for
40 minutes. Add more water if necessary. serves 4

Italian Meatloaf (crockpot)

This is a wonderful and easy recipe! This keeps well in fridge or freezer. If
making a lot, you can cook in the oven at 350 for 1 hour, but I enjoy doing
this one inthe crockpot. I do this one off of the top of my head, so I hope I
get the ingredients right!

2 pounds of ground beef
1 egg
1 onion chopped
1/2 cup spaghetti sauce
1 cup Italian breadcrumbs
1 tsp Italian seasoning (or sprinkle in some basil and oregano)
salt and pepper to taste (I think I use 1/2 tsp salt, 1/4 tsp pepper)
2 tbsp spaghetti sauce
aluminum foil

1. Mix together first seven ingredients (everything BUT the 2 tbsp spaghetti
sauce and the aluminum foil!)
2. Shape into a round loaf to fit into crockpot (or put in loaf pans if baking
in the oven).
3. Take a long length(2 feet) of aluminum foil, foling in half lengthwise, so
it is long and thin. Line the crockpot with the foil, making sure the foil
sticks out of the crock pot on both sides (you will use this to lift the
meatloaf out).
4. Place meatloaf in crockpot.Top with the remaining 2 tbsp of spaghetti
sauce.  Cook on low for 5-6 hours or high for 2-3 hours. You can also bake
this for 1 hour at 350 in the oven. (It is best slow cooked, but good any
which way!)

Italian Meatloaf Sandwiches

Save leftover meatloaf (or make extra!) and slice and serve on Italian
bread,top with some spaghetti sauce .

Mexican Meatloaf

This rich, flavorful meatloaf was another prize winner from the Miami Herald.

1 1/2 lb lean ground beef
1 1/2 lb bulk sausage
16 oz can Mexican-Style stewed tomatoes
8 oz canned green chopped chiles
2 eggs
3 Tbsp + 2 tsp tapioca
1 1/2 tsp dried minced onions
1/2 tsp cumin
1/4 tsp salt
1 1/2 cups salsa
1 cup shredded jack or Cheddar cheese

Mix all ingredients except salsa and cheese in a large bowl until well
combined. Divide in half and shape into loaves. Place each in a 9" x 4" loaf
pan. Top each with 3/4 cup salsa. Bake at 350 degrees for 1 1/2 hours. If the
sausage makes a lot of grease drain it once or twice while cooking. Top with
cheese and return to oven until cheese melts. Remove to serving platter and
let rest for 15 minutes before slicing.
This one might make a good sandwich too!

Bierrocks

These pastry pockets filled with beef, cabbage, onions and cheese can go
straight from the freezer to the oven. They're great served with a bowl of hot
tomato soup.

2 c milk, lukewarm
1/4 c oil
2 eggs, beaten
2 pkg yeast
1/2 c sugar
1 t salt
6 c flour
2 lb ground beef
1/2 head cabbage, chopped
1 large onion, chopped
18 slices American cheese
1 egg, beaten (optional)
sesame seeds, to garnish (optional)

Mix together the lukewarm milk and oil in a large bowl. Add the eggs, yeast,
sugar, salt and 5 cups of flour. Mix well and add remaining flour as necessary
to to form a kneadable dough. Knead a few minutes. Cover bowl and let dough
rise one hour in a warm place.

Meanwhile, brown beef in a large skillet. Do not drain. Add onion and cabbage
and continue cooking until onion is soft. Add salt and pepper to taste. Let
cool.

After dough has risen, roll out hunks of dough (about the size of a tennis
ball) as thin as possible. Place 1/2 slice cheese on dough, top with some
filling, then the other half slice of cheese. Fold over and seal like a
turnover (moistening the edges with water may help seal them).

Place on a baking sheet, brush with egg wash and sprinkle with sesame seeds
(optional) and bake at 350 degrees for about 30 minutes or until golden.

Serve immediately or cool and freeze. To reheat frozen, simply bake until hot.
Yield: about 18 Bierrocks.
 

Cheeseburger Turnovers

The idea here is the same as the empanadas, just bigger. Use chili or browned
ground beef and American or cheddar cheese as the filling. You can make half
moon shaped turnovers or square ones, with your favorite pastry or biscuit
recipe. They are almost identical to the ham and cheese hot pockets I posted
in the ham plan.

Maid Rites (crumbly hamburgers)

1 pound ground beef
1 onion chopped
seasonings of your choice
toppings of your choice
hamburger buns or kaiser rolls

1. Brown the beef and onions, drain off fat. Add the seasonings to taste.(You
can freeze this at this point if you like, or use it as a "quick and easy"
dinner)
2. Serve on hamburger buns or kaiser rolls with toppings of your choice
(lettuce, tomato, whatever)

Simple Salsbury Steak (Campbells soup recipe)

1 can of mushroom soup
1 pound of ground beef
1/3 cup dry bread crumbs
1 egg beaten
1/4 cup finely chopped onion
1 1/2 cups sliced fresh mushrooms

1. In a bowl, mix together 1/4 cup of the soup, beef, bread crumbs, egg, and
onion. Shape firmly into 6 patties. (If you are using raw meat, you can freeze
it now and brown the mushrooms and freeze them too, or you can freeze
everything after cooking)
2. In a skillet over medium heat, cook patties, a few at a time, until browned
on both sides, spoon off fat, set aside.
3. Stir in  remaining soup and mushrooms, return the patties to the skillet,
reduce heat to low, cover and simmer 20 minutes or until done, turning patties
occassionally.

(You can freeze it cooked. To serve, thaw and put on top of cooked pasta,
serve with steamed veggies and salad. MMMM)

BBQ Beef (beanless sloppy joes)

This is a recipe from my mother in law. I have made it and frozen it plenty of
times, it always turns out great! I make triple batches (one batch is 2 meals
for us) so I always have lots on hand!

1 pound ground beef
1 onion, chopped
1 can corned beef
3/4 cup ketchup
1/4 cup brown sugar
1 cup water
1 cup beef broth (I use 1 cup water and 1 bouillon cube)
1 tsp chili powder
2 tsp white vinegar

1. Brown beef and onion, drain off fat.
2. Add remaining ingredients, making sure to break up corned beef. Bring to a
boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 30 minutes, until thickened.
3. Serve on hamburger buns or kaiser rolls.
