Mom's Sloppy Joes

My mom is awesome, especially at cooking. But trying to get a recipe out of her is like pulling teeth. There are so many great things that she makes that she just "puts stuff in until it tastes right." Grrr. Here's my best attempt at her sloppy joes.

1 lb. ground beef
1 lb. veggies—carrots, celery, onion—chopped super small so they are about the same size as the ground beef
(These amounts can be doubled or whatever depending on how much you want to make. I just try to use equal parts meat and veggies. Or even more veggies than meat just because I can.)
ketchup
brown sugar
lemon juice
mustard

Brown the ground beef, drain. While meat is cooking sauté the vegetables until soft. Add some ketchup to the veggies to keep them from burning if you like. Or some olive oil. Combine meat and veggies in large pot or crock pot. Add ketchup until desired consistency is reached (well, a little more soupy than desired since they will cook down). Add brown sugar until desired sweetness is reached. Add a bit of lemon juice and mustard to brighten up the flavor. The longer you let everything simmer together on the stove or in the crock pot the better the flavors will combine and the softer the veggies will be. Serve on hamburger buns.

This freezes really well and is a great meal to have in the freezer for days when life just isn't going your way.

Enchilada Pie

1 lb. ground beef
2 tsp cumin
1 3/4 C salsa
1 C chopped tomatoes
1 (4-oz) can chopped green chilies
1 C frozen corn (I use canned corn.)
3 flour tortillas
1 (8-oz) pkg 4-cheese mexican blend (I use mozzarella and cheddar mixed when I don't have the other on hand.)
Top With: sour cream and chopped tomato

Brown beef with cumin. Stir in salsa, corn, chilies, and tomato. Bring to a simmer and cook 10 min. Preheat oven to 350. Coat a 9-in. deep dish pie plate or a round 2 1/2 - 3 quart casserole dish with nonstick cooking spray.

Put tortilla in prepared pie plate. Spread with 1/2 of meat mixture, then sprinkle with 1/3 of cheese. Repeat layers using 1/2 remaining cheese. Top with remaining tortilla; cover with foil. Bake for 30 min. Uncover, sprinkle with remaining cheese and bake 10 min. Let cool 5-10 min. before cutting into wedges.

Serve with toppings.

Family Foil Dinner

1/2 pkg onion soup mix
1 lb ground beef
season salt
1 egg
shredded cheddar cheese
2 - 4 potatoes, sliced into sticks about the size of fries
baby carrots (or sliced carrots)
1 onion, sliced into rings
garlic powder
onion powder
4 - 6 T butter

Preheat oven to 400. Layer a 9x 13 pan with foil. (Use several layers to keep it from leaking the juices out.)

In mixing bowl beat egg. Add ground beef, season salt, onion soup mix, and cheese (I use about 1 C cheese). Shape beef mixture into patties and place in 9x13 pan. On top of patties layer potatoes, carrots, and onion rings. Shake garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper over the top. Cut butter into cubes and scatter around on the top.

Put foil over the top and fold the edges together so the food is in a foil pocket. Bake for 1 - 1 1/2 hours.

Crockpot Stroganoff

1 - 1 1/2 lbs beef stew meat
1/2 onion, diced
1 clove garlic minced
1 tsp salt
4 tsp pepper
1 lb mushrooms chopped
1 can cream of mushroom soup
1/2 C water
1 C sour cream
Pasta

In crock pot stir together all ingredients except sour cream. Cook on low 6-8 hours. Add sour cream right before serving, cook on high and stir for 10 minutes.
Serve over pasta.

I got this from some friends of ours in California. It's super easy and very yummy!

Husband's Delight

1 lb ground beef
10 oz egg noodles (I've used spaghetti noodles and spiral noodles)
1 (14oz) can italian diced tomatoes (I use regular and just add some italian seasoning)
1 tsp salt
1 T sugar
8 oz sour cream
8 oz cream cheese, softened
about 1/4 onion, chopped
about 1/2 pound cheddar cheese

Preheat oven to 350.

Cook Pasta and drain.

Cook ground beef and onion (I also added about a tsp of chopped garlic) on medium heat. Drain. Add tomatoes with juice, salt, and sugar. Simmer for 15 minutes. Combine sour cream and cream cheese.

In a 9x13 pan layer noodles, meat mixture, and sour cream mixture. Top with sliced cheese ( I used shredded cheese instead). Cover and bake 20 min. Remove foil and cook an additional 5 minutes until cheese is melted.

(Caleb thinks it might be a little better if you mix everything together instead of layering it. That way the topping would be more evenly spread with the pasta, especially if you use shredded cheese. We'll probably try it that way the next time I make it.)

Hamburger Stroganoff

1 lb ground beef
1 medium onion, chopped (1/2 C)
1 clove garlic, finely chopped
1 can cream of mushroom soup
1 (4 oz) can mushroom pieces and stems, drained (I omit this while cooking and add some to the top of mine when dishing it up.)
1/2 tsp salt
1 C sour cream
Hot cooked noodles or rice

Cook beef, onion and garlic in 10-in skillet over medium heat 8 to 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until beef is brown; drain.

Stir soup, mushrooms and salt into beef. Simmer uncovered 10 minutes; reduce heat to low.

Stir in sour cream; heat until hot.

Serve over noodles or rice.

Mostaccioli

1 lb. ground beef
1 medium onion (I don't use all of it)
1 can (jar) tomatoes
1 can tomato paste
1 can water
1/2 tsp. oregano
1/2 cup ketchup
1/2 tsp. pepper
1 tsp. garlic
1 Tbsp. sugar
1 tsp chili powder
salt
1 lb mostaccioli noodles

Brown the hamburger with the onion. Blend together and add to meat the next 8 ingredients. Add noodles and simmer on low for 1 hr.

This was always a favorite of the kids growing up. Be sure you check the simmering pan so all the liquid doesn't cook itself out.

(p.s. you can do it with less hamburger & I usually do)

Swedish Meatballs

1 lb ground beef
1/2 c oats
1 egg
1/3 c onion
1 tsp salt
1 tsp worchestershire sauce
1/3 c milk
pepper

Mix and form into balls. Put whatever sauce you want on them. Cover and bake at 350 for 30-45 minutes. The meatballs actually remind me a little bit of mom's meatloaf recipe. Mason really likes these.

The original recipe for sauce was:
1 c brown sugar
1/2 c vinegar
2 tsp mustard
1/2 c BBQ sauce

It was ok, but we ended up liking Joyce's meatloaf sauce better which is ketchup, brown sugar, and mustard. Of course our FAVORITE thing to put on meatballs is a jar of "Homemade Chili Sauce" (found in most Utah grocery stores) and a small jar of grape jelly. Yum...
