Prep time 15 minutes

Bake time 1 Hour

• 3/4 pound ground meat (originally pork, but turkey works great)
• 1 tablespoon dried parsley
• 1/2 teaspoon paprika
• 1/2 teaspoon rubbed sage
• 1/4 teaspoon fennel seeds
• 1/4 teaspoon onion powder

• 1/4 teaspoon ground thyme

Obviously, you can adjust to taste.

This can be either browned as loose meat or shaped into patties.

Mom got this from the dialysis clinic before she had her transplant, but we still use it all the time. One of our favorite dinners is rice (1 1/2 cups cooked), canned tomatoes (28-ounce can), and 1 recipe of this, and we usually add a chopped onion and chopped bell pepper. We used to use plain hamburger but this is much better. I think it would also be great in breakfast tacos.

It’s not as strong as real sausage but it does add a nice flavor, which it really helps if you’re trying to reduce fat and are using very lean ground meats.

This is inexpensive to make and it can feed 3-4 people to save money. I use ground turkey but you can use ground beef I suppose. I buy generic everything so this usually cost about $4 to make and it is a quick dinner for when you do not feel like cooking.

• 1 lb ground turkey(or beef)
• 1 pkg of taco season
• 1 bag of shredded lettuce or a small head of lettuce diced well
• 1/2 bottle of french dressing
• 1/2 bag of shredded cheddar cheese.
• 1 bag of cheap tortilla chips crushed up

Cook turkey in a skillet with the taco season according to directions.
In a large bowl add lettuce, cheese, crushed chips and dressing and mix well, then add the meat and stir again until the meat is incorporated into the salad and serve.

I know French dressing sounds weird but it is yummy and filling.

Homemade Brown Gravy

1/4 to 1/3 Cup Cooking Oil
1/4 to 1/3 cup Self Rising Flour
Water ( about 1 quart or stock of choice)
Salt/Pepper to taste

*If you are going to serve this with Chicken, you may use fresh or canned Chicken Broth instead of water. If you are gonna use over meat, such as Hamburger Steak, you may use fresh beef broth, canned broth instead of plain water.

Pour cooking oil into the skillet and heat on medium heat.
Add self rising flour to hot oil (about 1/4 cup)

stirring this constantly, slowly together, add the salt and pepper to taste.

This mixture should be thick enough that when stirred it is not runny. Add extra flour 1 TBS at a time until thick enough.

* Got it too thick? Just add a little oil.

Brown mixture and add water or meat stock to thin it. If using meat stock, have it cold, room temperature or cooled down some if fresh, otherwise it will boil really fast and splatter. Thin to desired texture, using water or meat stock

Milk Gravy anyone?

Prepare as shown above. Just use milk instead of water or stock.

This recipe is one my oldest daughter made up. She calls it Hamburger and Fries casserole!

The ingredients are: a pound of cooked ground beef mixed with a can of cream of mushroom soup.

spread it in a cassarole and cover with a bag of frozen french fries.

bake in a 425 degree oven until fries are browned.

You can add a can of your favorite veggie to the beef mixture and sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese on top to make it a Cheeseburger and Fries casserole!

This recipe I am sharing is one my Mother called “hamburger pie”. It’s fairly simple…

A can of each: tomato soup, cream of mushroom soup, green beans, & corn. mix all together with about a pound of cooked ground beef. put in cassarole dish and spoon mashed potatos around edge of dish. heat in oven at about 375 degrees until it’s warmed thru. That is it!
