My mom always used to make this, and I find that it's filling enough with the potatoes that a batch will feed me for a week, so if you're on a budget like most of us it's a helluva deal. Total cost is fairly low...and it sounds like a lot of work but it's really not...
I usually use a ton more cheese than it says too...like a whole bag. mmm, cheese
And I also chop and fry about 1/2 of an onion with the beef, more flavor!
4 C Hash Browns
3 tbs Veg Oil
1/8 Tsp Pepper
1 lb ground beef
1 package brown gravy mix
1 c water
1/2 tsp garlic salt
10 oz mixed vegetables
1 c shredded cheese
1 can french fried onions
Mix potatoes, veg oil, and pepper, and press firmly in a 9x9 pan to make a shell.
Bake shell @ 400 for 15 minutes
Brown beef and drain in a large skillet, stir in gravy mix, water, garlic salt. Bring to a boil. Add vegetables, reduce to medium and cook 5 minutes. Stir in 1/2 c cheese and 1/2 can french fried onions. Bake @ 350 15 minutes. Sprinkle with remaining cheese and onions and bake another 5 minutes.
My Chili
-------------------------------------------------------------
1 lb 85/15 ground beef
1 can petite diced tomatoes
1 can tomato sauce
1 can rotel - spicy
1 can black beans
2 cans hot chili beans
1 white onion
1 package hot chili mix
extra chili powder as needed
Brown the beef with the onions, don't drain the fat of course. Add everything except the beans and simmer for about an hour. Dump the beans in and simmer for another hour. For more sauce in the chili, add 1 cup water before simmering, for a thicker chili, crush 1 sleeve of saltines before adding beans.
This chili is very forgiving...add or remove things you like or don't like. I like to add elbow macaroni sometimes too...chili mac!
Easy-@ss Enchiladas
------------------------------------------------------------
1 lb ground beef
2-3 cans enchilada sauce
1 onion
1 bag shredded cheese
12" tortillas
Brown the beef and onion, pour in enough enchilada sauce to make a mixture that looks like sloppy joes and about a cup of cheese. Add mixture to tortillas, roll up, cover with rest of enchilada sauce and cheese, and bake at around 350 until the cheese is brown and the sauce is bubbling. Serve with spanish rice and refried beans.....
