I keep meaning to come type in a bunch of ground beef ideas, but time is getting away from me. However, a friend of mine shared a recipe on her blog that I think would work well for you. :) So, I thought I'd share.

Soup recipe

This is one of our favorite easy to make soups. I didn't think I would like it when I tried it but I love it!

Taco Soup

1 can corn
2-3 cans beans- we usually use black beans, white beans, and pinto beans
1 can chili
1 can tomato sauce
1t taco seasoning (or more if you just love this stuff)

Throw it all in a crock pot for a few hours on low(or less hours on high) We love to put grated up cheese and sour cream in it. We also really love it with french bread.

October- Soup Recipes & Halloween Fun!

I think October is the greatest time for soup! It is getting cold and curling up with yummy warm soup is great for yucky weather! Plus crock pot soups are awesome for busy days! So what is your families favorite soup recipe? I know A lot of people also love chili this time of year. I am not a big chili fan, but chili recipes are welcome too!

October also brings Halloween. Do you have any fun Halloween food you like to make? Or any super fun traditions? We would love to hear about that too!

More ground beef recipes

Porcupine balls

1lb hamburger
mix in-
1/4 C tomato soup
1t salt
1 slightly beaten egg
1/2 C rice
pepper
(onions are always optional to me but I figured I would mention the original recipe does call for 1 small chopped onion)

shape into balls and brow. mix the rest of soup in 1 1/2 C water. pour over meat balls & simmer for 40 min.
Our alterations: we do one pan with oats instead of rice because of food allergies- it just has a little more of a meat loaf flavor and cooks in less time. we don't do actual balls well. so we mix up the meat and cook the whole thing in the sauce, adding more sauce as needed. stir often until gr beef is brown and rice is cooked!



Meat Loaf

ground beef
1 egg
oats and ketchup to taste

cook 350-375 until middle is brown. you can add anything you like on a hamburger for variety! dill, mustard, shredded cheese, onion, whatever you like!



Hamburger roll ups

cooked ground beef
shredded cheese

roll out bread dough like you are going to make Cinnamon rolls. Sprinkle ground beef and cheese all over the bread. Roll up and cut into around one inch rolls-like Cinnamon rolls. cook 400 for 10-12 min
