Cheesy Beef Pasta

This Cheesy Beef Pasta is just as easy to make as Hamburger Helper mix, but yummier! Great taste and easy to prepare. Can’t beat that!

Cheesy Beef Pasta

Who needs Hamburger Helper when you can prepare something much more tasty from scratch?

Great for kids and adults alike. You might want to adjust the garlic and maybe add some oregano to adjust for your family’s taste. But it’s great just like it is!

Make it once and I’m sure you’ll never buy Hamburger Helper again!

A quick and easy way to dress up a pound of ground beef after a hard days work and you probably have all the ingredients on hand!

Hamburger Steak with Onions and Gravy

Ingredients

1 pound ground beef
1 egg
1/4 cup bread crumbs
1/8 teaspoon ground black pepper
1/2 teaspoon seasoned salt
1/2 teaspoon onion powder
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
1 cup thinly sliced onion
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 cup beef broth
1 tablespoon cooking sherry
1/2 teaspoon seasoned salt

Directions

In a large bowl, mix together the ground beef, egg, bread crumbs, pepper, salt, onion powder, garlic powder, and Worcestershire sauce. Form into 8 balls, and flatten into patties.

Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Fry the patties and onion in the oil until patties are nicely browned, about 4 minutes per side. Remove the beef patties to a plate, and keep warm.

Sprinkle flour over the onions and drippings in the skillet. Stir in flour with a fork, scraping bits of beef off of the bottom as you stir. Gradually mix in the beef broth and sherry. Season with seasoned salt.

Simmer and stir over medium-low heat for about 5 minutes, until the gravy thickens. Turn heat to low, return patties to the gravy, cover, and simmer for another 15 minutes.

Spicy Beef Szechuan Noodles

Sometimes the same old ground beef dishes get a little boring so I throw in something different like Spicy Beef Szechuan Noodles.

 

An easy recipe that’s also delicious! It doesn’t get any better than that!

Ground beef is relatively economical as far as beef is concerned. I eat a lot of it.

I double up the sauce sometimes because I like it saucy. Hoisin is very sweet so if you try the recipe I recommend adding a little and working your way up.

Give this spicy dish a try!
