This dinner came about by accident really. Me and my sister (when we still lived at home) was asked to cook dinner. So we browned some hamburger and just seasoned it with onion salt, garlic salt, pepper, season salt, whatever we felt like. Then we decided to cook up some ramen noodles, but instead of putting all the beef seasoning with the noodles, we put some in with the hamburger. Let's just say that was some well seasoned Beef. Drain the noodles, add some cheese and you get a pretty good mix. We put everything on the table and just started putting it together. It was winner!
WHAT YOU NEED: 1-2 lb Hamburger, enough Ramen Noodles to feed your family (Beef flavored), Grated cheese, Seasonings (Your favorites)
Brown hamburger and season it too death with your families favorites and ramen noodle seasoning from 1 packed. Drain grease. Cook noodles according to package directions. Season with some of the beef seasoning, then drain water. Layer in bowls, (for each person) noodles, hamburger and top it off with lots of cheese, YUM!
You may think Yuck, but it is really so Good! Everyone usually has hamburger, ramen noodles and cheese, so it's a quick meal that you don't have to go to the store for. It would be good to have corn on the cob for a side as well.
PAULA'S GARLIC BUTTER BURGERS
Okay my pic doesn't do this burger justice, but the taste was fantastic! It gives a regular burger that little extra flavor. I added Asiago Cheese for some more flavor and it worked. Paula Deen has been my Favorite lately, so you might start seeing more recipes from her.WHAT YOU NEED: 1/2 stick, unsalted butter, softened (I used salted, bcause that's what I had on hand, but it probably doesn't matter), 2 T chopped fresh parsley, 1 Lg clove garlic minced, finely grated zest of 1 lemon ( I only did about 1 t of the zest, not the whole thing) 2 pds ground beef, 1 t salt, 1 t black pepper, hamburger buns, and toppings.
In a sm bowl mash the butter, parsley, garlic, and lemon zest. Form into a log, wrap in plastic wrap or wax paper (i used wax), chill in freezer for 10 min (I made it the night before and put it in the fridge and it was perfect for when it was time for the patties). In a lg bowl mix together beef, salt, pepper and this is when I added the grated Asiago cheese (you don't have to add cheese, but it was good). Pat out the patties, then stick a slice of the butter and put in the middle of patty. Fold over sides of patty until butter is covered completely, then I smashed the burger out again. (you want them kind of big, so they don't shrink to small after cooking). Grill or broil patties until cooked the way you like it. Serve on yummy buns or it was a good lettuce wrap for low carb dieters. Then add your favorite burger toppings.
This is Definetly being added to My all time favorite burgers, Enjoy!!!!
SKILLET SPAGHETTI
This recipe is a better take on plain old spaghetti. It is also less mess. (which I prefer) I must of posted it somewhere before, because I have a cousin that made it once and now her kids beg for it, so here it is. I don't have exact measurments as always, because it's one you look at and guess, but you can play with it until you get it exactly how you like it.
It will make a lot, so invite a neighbor over. In a lg skillet, Brown 1 lb hamburger and 1 lb sausage (you can also do chicken, but hamburger and sausage is the best). Drain the grease and then add 2-3 cans of diced tomatoes, sprinkle some Italian seasoning and add couple of cans of water. (You might need more, but you don't want to over flow the pan) Break thin spaghetti noodles in with it and let it simmer until noodles are done. You don't want it runny, so if it is, add some more noodles. Sprinkle cheese all over the top and put in oven to melt. Serve with Green Salad, French or Garlic bread.
MEATLOAF
I will be honest. I have a couple of really good meatloaf recipes, but my favorite is to just add a bunch of ingredients and hope for the best. I've never made a bad loaf, so pretty much, I'm saying "You can't mess up Meatloaf!" I also don't like dry, tasteless meatloaf either, so I won't steer you wrong.
