What should I make for dinner with this frozen hamburger meat?

Question

I have hamburger meat in my fridge that I took out from the freezer this morning. What should I make with it?

Answer 1

A really nice tossed salad would be great or just stop by Wendy's if you ran out and just get a couple of side salads to enjoy for yourself and others.

Answer 2

You could adapt this for your dinner.

Shepherd’s Pie.

1 minced onion

1/4 tsp. hot pepper sauce

1 tsp. Worcestershire sauce

3 c. minced cooked lamb

1 1/2 tsp. salt

1/4 c. hot milk

6 med. peeled boiled potatoes

1 slightly beaten egg

4 tbsp. butter

1 1/2 c. gravy

1/4 tsp. pepper

Sauté onion in 1 tablespoon butter until soft, but not brown. Remove from heat; mix in meat, gravy, pepper and Worcestershire sauce, and 3/4 teaspoon salt. Beat until fluffy potatoes, remaining salt, and butter, pepper, and hot milk. Put meat mixture in 1 1/2 quart baking dish. Top with fluffy potatoes, score with fork to make a pattern. Brush with egg. Bake at 325 degrees for 45 minutes.

If made with beef mince it would be a Cottage Pie.
