Farmhouse Barbeque Muffins (not breakfast, but dinner) (by BCatherine)
I made this one for the first time tonight and it was very good. My husband likes pretty much everything I cook and I could tell that even he raved more about this one. Make sure to grease the muffin tin first (I just used cooking spray).
1 pkg. regrigerated buttermilk biscuits (I used regular rather than the ones that are layered).
1 pound ground beef
1/2 cup ketchup
3 tablespoons brown sugar
1 Tablespoon cider vinegar
1/2 teaspoon chili powder
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese (I just shredded 8 oz. and used about 6 of it probably).
Press biscuits into greased muffin pan. In skillet brown beef. Add all other ingredients except cheese together.
Add to cooked meat. Add meat mixture to biscuit cups. Top with cheese. Bake 375. Bake 20 min. Very yummy and easy.

different tacos (by BCatherine)
We had this for dinner tonight and it was pretty good.
1 lb. ground beef
1 can refried beans
Shredded cheddar cheese (as much as you like)
cream cheese
1 pkg. taco seasoning
soft tortilla shells
salsa
Cook meat and taco mix then drain (I cooked the meat first and then added the seasoning b/c I always rinse my meat after cooking and didn't want to rinse off the seasoning). Mix meat together w/ beans and cheese (I used about 6 oz. of cheese in this part). Spread cream cheese on tortilla and put meat mixture in the middle and roll up. (I didn't do the traditional burrito type roll - I just rolled them sideways - I think that it would keep the filling in better and also it fit in the dish better that way). Put in a casserole dish and sprinkle w/ cheese (I used about 3-4 oz. this time). Cover w/ a jar of salsa and bake at 375 for about 10 min. or until cheese melts. Serve w/ sour cream.

My macaroni goulash (by SandKsmama)
Here's how I do it:
1 box macaroni(a regular size mac n cheese or equivalent plain elbow noodles), boiled till done
1 can corn(or equivalent frozen), drained
1 can diced tomatoes, undrained
1/2 -1 lb hamburger, browned
American cheese(or velveeta) to taste(if I've used a mac n cheese, then I use the packet that comes with that, and add a couple slices of American cheese as well).
Basically, I boil the noodles, drain them, put them back in the pot and add all other ingredients, stirring and heating till the cheese is melted. This is "comfort" food for our family:-) Not very exciting, but everyone likes it!

Beef Stew (by 1joyfulbelle)
10 small new potatoes, halved not peeled (you may use the larger potatoes and just cut into chunks)
12 small white onions, peeled (you may use regular size onions and just cut into chunks)
30 baby carrots (1/2 pound)
1 red or green bell pepper, seeded and cut into 1 " pieces
(optional)
1 1/2 lbs beef stew meat, cut into 1 to 1 1/2 " cubes
2 cups beef broth or bouillon
2 teaspoons fresh oregano leaves, chopped (you may use dried)
1/4 teaspoon Paprika
1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped (you may use dried)
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon salt
3 tablespoons cornstarch
3 tablespoons cold water
Place potatoes, onions, and baby carrots in slow cooker. Add bell pepper and beef. In small bowl combine broth, oregano, paprika, parsley, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and pepper. Pour over meat and vegetables. Cover and cook on low 9-10 hours. Turn pot to high. In small bowl dissolve cornstarch in water; stir into cooked stew mixture. Cover and cook on high for 15 to 20 minutes or until thickened.
Stove top version (I did it this way yesterday and liked it just as well):
I dredged the stew meat in flour and browned in a dutch oven in some hot oil. I added the onions and cooked a bit. Then I added the carrots and the broth with the seasonings. I simmered for several hours on low. Since I dredged the meat in flour I did not need to use the cornstarch at the end. It was just the right thickness already.
This is VERY yummy and good served with biscuits or homemade bread and a salad.
Enjoy!!!

Mom's Enchildadas by kimmer89
No amounts here; when I make this it is with a package of ground beef about 1.5-2 lbs. Makes a 13x9 dish or two smaller baking dishes full.
Brown ground beef; add taco seasoning per directions.
Chopped onions
Large pack of shredded cheese - I use cheddar/jack
Have the above ready and then
heat corn tortilla in hot oil for a few seconds each side. Drain on towel. Fill with beef, onion and cheese and roll. Place in baking dish. Repeat until dish is filled - leave some beef remaining for gravy. Top enchiladas with extra cheese. Bake at 350 til hot and cheese is melted.
Gravy/sauce - leave some beef in the pan. Add water, more taco seasoning (not a whole package!!), chili powder, and other spices (I usually use a dash of cinnamon too). Heat to a boil. Should be a rich brown color. Make a paste of flour and water - add to gravy but not too much! Gravy should be a little bit runny.
Once enchiladas come out of oven, serve with gravy on top.
Side note: gravy can be placed on the enchiladas before baking, but I find this makes my tortillas mushy.
Enjoy!

Plain old Italian Meat-a-balls-a (very moist not dry!) (by ddofEve)
Meatballs
2 slices of white sandwich bread (crusts discarded), torn into small cubes
1/2 cup buttermilk or 6 tablespoons plain yogurt thinned with 2 tablespoons sweet milk
3/4 pound ground chuck or 1 pound if omitting ground pork
1/4 pound ground pork mixed with ground chuck
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
2 tablespoons minced fresh parsley leaves
1 large egg yolk
1 small clove of garlic , minced (1 teaspoon)
3/4 teaspoon table salt
ground black pepper
vegetable oil for pan-frying (about 1 1/4 cups
1. For the meatballs: Combine bread and buttermilk in small bowl, mashing occasionally with fork, until smooth paste forms, about 10 minutes.
2. Mix all meatball ingredients, including bread mixture and pepper to taste in medium bowl. Lightly form 3 tablespoons of mixture into 1 1/2-inch round meatballs; repeat with remaining mixture to form approximately 14 meatballs. (Compacting them can make the meatballs dense and hard. Can be placed on large plate, covered loosely with plastic wrap, and refrigerated for several hours.)
3. Heat 1/4 -inch vegetable oil over medium-high heat in 10- or 11-inch sauté pan. When edge of meatball dipped in oil sizzles, add meatballs in single layer. Fry, turning several times, until nicely browned on all sides, about 10 minutes, regulating heat as needed to keep oil sizzling but not smoking. Transfer browned meatballs to paper towel--lined plate; set aside. Repeat, if necessary, with remaining meatballs.
Enjoy however you like! I make a ton of these at one time, and freeze in ziplock baggie for whenever. Make 'em extra big for Meatball subs. Dh's love this! Top with spaghetti sauce, and provolone cheese and put under broiler to melt cheese.
ENJOY!
