Recipes with ground beef, lean

Italian Burgers recipe

These tacos were delicious! Made them for a recent family dinner, and everyone at the table just kept asking for more. Thank goodness that I had enough to cover everyone's appetite :)

Classic burger for the grill with a slight twist. Instead of bread crumbs as filler this burger recipe uses rolled oats along with a bit of teriyaki sauce for a boost of extra flavor.

Consumer Report's Chili recipe

Bandit's Chili recipe

Anniversary Burgers recipe

Mac Skillet Dinner recipe

A refreshing twist on classic Salisbury steaks. The added sweet red bell pepper, scallions and ginger really boost the flavor of the steak. The watercress gives a nutritional boost. This recipe could work equally as well served on a bed of mashed potatoes with gravy instead of the watercress.

Classic German Burgers recipe

A low-carb easy bun-less burger that's quick and easy, topped with a tasty sauce.

This recipe is over 100 years old. I add a twist to the recipe (and a little sweetness) by adding some golden raisins, like my favorite restaurant in Provincetown, Mass., does.

Beef and Bacon Chili recipe

Similar to a tamale pie recipe. Sometimes referred to as the most delicious thing there ever was, this aromatic mix of ground beef, tomato sauce and, spices, topped with a cheesy polenta style cornbread-like topping baked as a casserole is certain to become a family favorite.

Hot N' Spicy Beef Burgers recipe

Halved zucchini stuffed with a savory meat filling, topped with melted cheese.

While growing up, my Polish-Russian grandmother, who lived with our family, made these little meat patties quite often and they were a family favorite. Here is my rendition, from what I remember when cooking with Grandma, as she never wrote the recipe down. The patties were always served with mashed potatoes, green beans, applesauce, and, of course, plenty of ketchup for the patties.
