From time to time I make dinner real simple as well (school, work, kids.. never enough time!). One of my good fall back recipes are: 1lb cooked ground meat (deer, beef, pork, etc), sauteed green beans & onions, over cooked rice with gravy. Simple, and kid pleasing as well.

My mom made a dish she called goulash.

It was macaroni, tomatoes and hamburger.

Boil the macaroni, brown the hamburger (add onion if desired), drain both and return to pot and add drained chopped canned tomatoes.

Sounds strange but is actually quite tasty!

Is what is in my fridge for tommorow, I don't wan't meatloaf, or hamburger helper...spaghetti or taco's.

Are there any new recipe's for hamburger?
