\POFF 6
1 - 2 lbs hamburger
1     medium onion, chopped
1     lg. can tomatoes
2     Tbsp. flour
      Spaghetti Sauce seasoning (optional)
      Bacon drippings, if available (butter/margarine will do)

In a large skillet, saute the chopped onion in the bacon drippings until the
onion starts to turn transparent.  Add the hamburger and as it cooks "meal"
it with the edge of a spatula until it is all broken up and real fine.  As
soon as it gets thoroughly browned, pour off the water & grease.  Add the can
of tomatoes, cutting them up as you add them.  (You can add the Spaghetti
Sauce seasoning, or anything that sounds good to you, at this point..) Add
the 2 Tbsp. flour to thicken, turn the heat down and let it simmer for about
10-15 minutes.  Serve over mashed potatoes or rice (or even toast).

This qualifies as South Dallas "soul food"...(read: cheap & quick)...

Good luck!

Quick and easy, huh?  Well, the easiest thing that I know to do with
hamburger that still tastes good is to break up and brown about
1/4 - 1/2 pound, add a can of Campbell's alphabet soup, heat, and
eat.  Takes all of about 5 minutes!  You can vary it by adding a
little catsup or bottled spaghetti sauce or cayenne pepper or
whatever.

here goes:

Take 2 lb VERY lean hamburger. divide into 5 portions. Flatten into patties
about 1/2 inch thick (6 inches across ?!). Grill over hot charcoal about
5 minutes per side, or less if you like 'em rare.

Doing anything else with good hamburger is nothing short of sacrilege!

Ground beef is another story entirely...

Hi Martin,

Here's a great hamburger recipe that my whole family loves to devour when it's
served.  Believe me...it's GOOD.

Ingredients:
1 LB  hamburger
1 egg
1 half of an onion (diced) OR can substitute for 1 pkg.Lipton's onion soup mix
1 or 2 tblsp. barbecue sauce
1/4 cup of wheat germ
1 crushed galic clove
_____________________________________________________________________________
MIX     MIX    MIX     MIX    MIX    MIX   MIX    MIX    MIX    MIX    MIX
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Mix hamburger with egg in mixing bowl.  Add diced onions, BBQ sauce then
wheat germ.  Squeeze in garlic clove.
Mix this whole mixture together and form into flat round patties.
(makes about four healthy patties).
Then fry or barbecue (I prefer barbecue) and enjoy!
Happy eating....

Martin--
   Would you believe...MEAT LOAF!  But with an interesting flavor because
of the ingredients AND the fact that you don't measure anything.  Mix
these things together (with hands) in amounts you believe you'll like:

   1+ lb. hamburger              1 raw egg
   Chopped onions, celery, &     Taco sauce (red, with zip if you like it)
      green pepper               Teriyaki sauce

If it gets too soupy for you, smash some soda crackers (NOT bread) and mix
them in.  Bake at 350 for about 50 minutes (for well-done meatloaf).  Even
meatloaf haters like this one!  Makes great sandwiches, too.

One more:  Cabbage Surprise  (serves about 4 cause it's addictive)...

   Ingredients:  1+ lb hamburger, crumbled (or stew meat)
                 1 large head of cabbage, chunk-chopped
                 1 med. onion, sliced
                 Soy sauce (or Teriyaki sauce if you prefer)

   Brown burger in large kettle (diced celery & onions optional); drain.
   Mix in cabbage, sliced onions, soy/teriyaki sauce (1/2 to 1 cup), &
   pepper (to taste).  Cover kettle and steam (low heat) for 5 to 10
   minutes--until cabbage is the consistency you like.  Serve over steamed
   rice.  (Original recipe called for stew meat, but hamburger works very
   well.  This stuff is great as leftovers, too.)

Enjoy,
Betty

MARTIN,

THE BEST IDEA I KNOW OF FOR GROUND BEEF, IS TO USE GROUND TURKEY INSTEAD.
IT IS USUALLY AVAILABLE IN THE FROZEN SECTION OF THE STORE.  WE USE IT
IN SPAGHETTI, CHILI, AND EVEN HAMBURGERS.  IT HAS LESS FAT THAN GROUND
BEEF (WE'RE TRYING TO QUIT), AND COSTS MUCH LESS ($.99/LB.) FOR A RATHER
GOOD QUALITY MEAT. I RECOMMEND USING IT IN ALL OF THE RECIPES YOU RECEIVE
FOR A HEALTHIER MEAL!

REGARDS,
DIANE
