Is defrosted for tonight's dinner. I am tired of the usual spaghetti and hamburgers on buns. Don't want to fix the special of the mid west, Johnny Marzetti.
Please give me a recipe that is one of your go to ones that people seem to enjoy. Something from YOUR neck of the woods.

Recipe: Salisbury Steak with Mushroom Gravy
Prep time: 15 min |Cook time: 30 min | Yield: About 4 to 6 servings
Ingredients:
• 1-1/2 pounds of ground beef
• 1/2 cup of Italian style dry bread crumbs
• 1 large egg, beaten
• 1/4 cup of minced onion
• Couple dashes of Worcestershire sauce
• 2 cans of condensed cream of mushroom soup, divided
• Cajun seasoning (like Slap Ya Mama),or seasoning salt (like Lawry's), to taste
• 2 tablespoons of bacon fat, canola or vegetable oil
• Couple dashes of Kitchen Bouquet, for color, optional
• 2 cups of sliced mushrooms
Directions:
Mix together the ground beef, bread crumbs, beaten egg, onion, Worcestershire sauce and 1/4 cup of the soup. Shape into 6 oval shaped patties, and sprinkle both sides of the patties with Cajun seasoning or seasoned salt. Heat the fat in a 12 inch skillet over medium high heat, add the patties in two batches, and brown on both sides, turning carefully. Use a wide spatula to transfer the patties to a platter; set aside. Drain off excess fat from the skillet.
Add the remaining soup to the skillet and bring to a boil; reduce heat, stir in Kitchen Bouquet and the mushrooms, cover and cook for about 2 to 3 minutes, or until mushrooms release their liquid. Return the patties to the skillet, carefully turning to coat both sides, cover and cook over medium low, turning several times, for about 30 minutes or until patties are no longer pink. Serve patties with some of the gravy and mushrooms spooned over the top.
Cook's Notes: If you are using a higher fat ground beef, increase the dry breads crumbs slightly. For extra gravy use a large family size can of cream of mushroom and stir in a bit of water or milk to loosen, bring to a boil, add mushrooms and proceed with remaining recipe. May also substitute a 6-ounce can of mushrooms with the liquid for the fresh mushrooms.

Hamburger defrosting, on Father's Day?? Close to a mortal sin.
Let it defrost for Monday. Go to Publix or Fresh Market and get a couple of filets and fire up the grill with some cocktails.
It's still early enough to get that done!!

It sounds delish. I have never heard of a Cajun seasoning called "Slap ya mama". Sounds...ummm...spicy?

I've saved this recipe from an old German neighbor of mine; the one who made the best warm German potato salad........
It's not something I would serve on Father's Day, however, great for when the grandkids visit........or for an anytime "lunch" or Saturday quick supper.....
It was called "Tailgating" something or other.......but is actually just:
ITALIAN SLOPPY JOES WITH CHEESE IN HOT DOG BUNS
1 lb ground beef
8 oz. "pizza sauce" (found near jarred spaghetti sauces)
1 tablespoon minced fresh onion
1 tablespoon minced fresh garlic
1/4 teaspoon dried oregano, crushed
1/4 teaspoon dried basil, crushed
6 hot dog buns
1 cup mozzarella cheese, shredded
Brown ground beef in skillet over medium-high heat, and drain grease.
Add pizza sauce and spices to meat. Bring to boil, stirring, then turn to low, cover and cook 15 minutes.
Spoon the meat mixture onto hot dog bun bottoms. (I use the Kings Hawaiian Hot Dog rolls)....ditto for their H.B. buns.
Top with mozzarella cheese which should melt on the hot meat and cover with bun tops.
The guys love these. Above recipe makes 6, but you can double or triple the recipe.

Ummm not sure what you mean by that?
I see nothing wrong with a pound of hamburger on Father's day. Anyone who knows me knows I love to cook, am a fairly good cook and my husband was happy with his supper. I don't think of fathers day or mothers day as a great feast day, kill the fatted calf time like Thanksgiving, Easter, Christmas, New Years. Yummy doesn't have to be elaborate or expensive.
We like ground beef. What's your beef?
Gracie......I'm sure your supper came out yummy, but I think what that poster meant was that perhaps some others prepare something "special"; like for instance, whatever the "father of the day" would like for his special celebratory meal. Similar to us moms being taken out to Sunday brunch for Mother's Day or getting flowers, etc. Doing something special for dad.
Most dads love surf and turf.....steak and shrimp on the grill, a nice baked potato and a salad..........nothing at all like a Thanksgiving dinner extravaganza..........plus a nice dessert.
But try that "tailgate" recipe I shared with you, the next time you have a lb. of ground beef thawing. You will like it, for sure.

I use a 9 3/4 x 9 3/4 square casserole dish.
any where from a pound to a pound and a half of hamburg
onions to taste - your preference
a 16 oz can of creamed corn
about a cup of shredded cheese
instant mashed potatoes serving for 4
this is a very flexible dish - you could add other vegetables (peas?) and more seasonings - we have used Mrs. Dash sometimes

Ground beef tetrizini or ground beef stroganoff.
I'm not much of a typist, you'll have to look it up yourself.

One of my favorites that I made before it was saw it in magazines:
Brown the ground beef in a little oil. Break into pieces as it browns.
Drain the grease into a can and toss.
Mix in a small can of tomato sauce and a package of taco seasoning with the ground beef
Add a small can of drained Mexicorn
Stir well and put into a 8X8 square aluminum pan.
Take a package of corn meal mix and prepare as directed. Stir in a can of El Paso Jalapeno chilies. I use the juice in the can to supplement the water that they add to the corn meal mix to make the topping spicier.
Spread the corn meal mixture on top of the ground beef mixture.
Bake for 12-15 minutes at 350 degrees.
Cut into squares and serve and eat.

WOW! This. Sounds great. This thread has great ideas. I also like to throw a handful of shredded cheese in my cornbread. This will be on the menu this week.:pepper2:

I call it "Mexican Pizza." Very quick.
Brown ground beef in skillet, drain fat, add envelope of taco mix and whatever water they suggest, simmer until not soupy (usually about 5 minutes).
Heat soft taco shells (we like whole grain or some kind of upgrade - like tomato basil or whatever) on both sides in a non-stick skillet with a little Pam sprayed. Doesn't take long - maybe 30-60 seconds per side.
Put taco shells on a foil covered cookie sheet, spread with taco meat, add chopped green onions, green and/or red/yellow chopped peppers, chopped tomatoes (have used drained canned tomatoes when desperate) and top with grated cheese - stick in oven for 5-10 minutes at 350-375 until cheese melts and serve. Could add other veggies if desired also.
You kind of need to eat it with a fork if you are not eating alone - kind of messy, but good. Can also cut it in fourths and attempt to pick up and eat like pizza.

Coming on this thread late but thought you may like this soup recipe that we call in my neck of the woods Venus de Milo soup after the local restaurant named Venus de Milo that created it.
1 lb lean hamburger
1 medium onion chopped
1 clove of chopped garlic
1 small can of tomato paste
1 can of beef broth
3-4 quarts of water (less if you like soup thicker more for thinner)
2 beef bouillon cubes
1 tsp of Italian seasoning
salt and pepper to taste
1/2 box of Orzo pastine
2 cans of Vegall drained
Your favorite grated cheese
2 tblsp olive oil for browning hamburger
Directions:
In a good size soup pot brown hamburger and when almost browned throw in the chopped onions and garlic and saute them for a few minutes. Add liquids, tomato paste, Italian seasoning, bouillon cubes, and Vegall and simmer the time it takes to cook the Orzo in a separate pot. When Orzo done cooking drain and add to the soup. Add grated cheese when serving and crusty Italian or French bread completes this meal. Enjoy :)

Tater Tot Hotdish:
Put the hamburger (un cooked) on the bottom of a square casserole dish (FYI a casserole is like a hotdish that is served outside of Minnesota)
Open a can of Campbell's cream of mushroom soup (WHAT do you mean you don't have a can of Campbells cream of mushroom soup? How can you make green bean, mushroom and onion ring ?) Uffda
Spread the can of soup evenly over the hamburger.
Open (with either hand) a bag of frozen Tater Tots. Evenly layer the tots over the mushroom . Bake the tater tots per the instruction on the tater tots.
When the tots are golden brown (NO sampling) the masterpiece will be complete.
PS you may to employ additional security to defer the unplanned dinner guests.

Wonderful new ideas and new words. "Hotdish"...a new word that means the same as casserole. Another word I learned that is the same as Potluck? "Pitchin"...often used if you are from Central Indiana.
AND when I moved here I found a lot of folks from New York City hadn't ever been to a Potluck or a Pitchin. We are all alike only different.
Love your humor too BruiserI.

Hate to admit it, I've never been to a potluck. It sounds like an easy way to entertain and fun.
I always associated potlucks with church stuff and I'm really not so much into church.

If you like cabbage, this is sooo good and easy. You can make a big dish of this and freeze as much as you like.
QUICK UNSTUFFED CABBAGE
1 head of cabbage chopped into medium pieces
1 lb ground beef
1/2 cup chopped onion
1 T + 1/3 c raw rice ( not instant)
1//4 tsp pepper
1/2 tsp salt
2 cans condensed tomato soup
1 1/2 cups water
1/4-1/2 cup grated Parm or Italian Cheese
Grease 9x13 dish/pan. Spread cabbage on bottom of pan. Brown meat and onion. Drain and stir in rice, salt and pepper. Spoon over cabbage. In saucepan heat soup and water to boiling and pour over mixture in pan. Sprinkle with cheese (I have added more cheese if I didn't think it covers- the cheese layer is ABSOLUTELY NECESSARY AS I HAVE TRIED IT WITHOUT AND YOU CAN'T ELIMINATE IT!). Cover tightly with foil
bake for 90 minutes at 350. Let sit 10 minutes when it comes out of oven.
