This usually serves about 4, and is not for people on low carb, or any kind of diets

Hambuger Rice Thingy (as Hubby has named it, intentionally spelled) (romes7329)


1 lb ground hamburger meat, with as most fat as you can get (usually a 70/30 ratio works great)

1 cup of dry rice, so 3 cups cooked
3 or 4 medium sized potatoes

any vegetables you favor that go together.
We usually go for artichoke hearts, black pitted olives, and tomatoes

Skin the potatoes and cut them up into about 1 inch squares.
Cook them through in boiling water. Season them to taste

Make your rice, season it to taste

Brown the (seasoned) hamburger in a large skillet, and don't drain it.

In the skillet, combine the potatoes and rice with the hamburger. The fact that you didn't drain it, will make the dish not as dry.

Add up your chopped vegetables and serve.

The tomatoes also help it be not so dry.

Can be served with french fries, or a fried egg on top.

(I know, not so healthy, but sooo yummy)

Slartibartfast's Shepherds Pielets

1 lb lean ground hamburger
1/2 regular size or one small can of peas or about 1/2 cup fresh peas
Instant mashed potatoes
Muffin pan

Pre-heat the oven to 400 degrees. Follow the directions on the mashed potatoes to make about 6 servings. Using about half the potatoes, cover the bottom 1/2" to 1" of each muffin cup and bake for 6-8 minutes or until just barely brown.

While this is baking, brown the hamburger meat and drain the fat. In a large bowl, mix the hamburger, remaining potatoes, and the peas.

When the potatoes in the oven have browned slightly, remove the muffin pan and divide the hamburger/potato/pea mix among the muffin cups. Bake for 10-20 minutes or until the tops have browned (cooking time will vary according to how well drained the hamburger was, how moist the potatoes were, and how full the muffin cups were).

Serve with gravy, ketchup, or plain. Feeds 2-3 adults or 1 teenage boy.

Boeuf Bourgignon

Marinade:

Large onion, sliced
Large carrot, sliced
4 bay leaves
1 tbsp peppercorns
1/2 tbsp thyme
1 tbsp dried parsley
4 tbsp olive oil
dry red wine (sufficient to cover the above plus the beef)

3 lbs beef stew, cut into 1" cubes
2 tbsp butter
1 cup beef broth or bouillon
1/2 lb salt pork or bacon
48 small whole onions (Birdseye has nice frozen ones)
1 1/2 cups sliced mushrooms
Gravy flour

Trim most of the visible fat on the beef and marinate in refrigerator for 2 days (Check after 24 hours and mix to insure even marination).  Remove meat from marinade, dry on paper towels, if necessary.  Strain marinade and save the liquid.

Brown beef in butter, carefully browning meat on all sides.  Coat with flour, brown the flour, then add broth and marinade.  Cook on high heat, stirring, until alcohol evaporates.

In a separate pan, brown pork and onions together until onions are golden but not burned.  Drain off fat and add to beef.  Cover pot, lower flame, and cook two hours, stirring occasionally to prevent scorching.  Add mushrooms, recover pot, and cook additional 45 minutes.

Serve with stroganoff noodles or boiled potatoes.  Reheats very well.

STWED BEEFF (Stewed/Braised Beef)

This is based on a mediaeval English recipe.  Some people get weirded out at the idea of the raisins, but they really do go well.  They can be left out if they really are too much for you though.

2-3 lbs of beef/chuck/braising steak, cut into cubes
1/2 cup flour
2-3 onions, minced
5 tbsp oil
5-6 cups beef stock (those of us in the 21st century can use bouillion or canned broth )
2 tbsp minced parsely
1-2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp cinnamon
1/2 tsp cloves
1/2 tsp mace
1/4 cup raisins or currants
4 black peppercorns
1/2 cup red wine
2 tsp wine vinegar
pinch saffron

Coat beef in flour and brown in oil.  Bring stock, meat and remaining ingredients to a boil in a stock pot.  Reduce heat, cover and simmer until meat is tender.  (Original recipe says about 1hr 15 mins, but it should really have about 3 to let the flavours develop and mellow.)  Sprinkle with more freshly chopped parsley before serving.
