600 lbs of Ground Beef, HELP!!!!!!!!!!

I'm looking for help in finding different ways of using Ground Beef. I had two of my cows processed this week and I now have 600 lbs of ground beef to put on my weekly special menu. Any ideas from the Roadfood gang of new or old favorite entrees...............Thanks for the help...................pnwc

Six hundred, eh? That might make a fair-sized meatloaf. Of course, you;d need to slaughter a few hogs to get enough bacon for the top.

MIchael, you said bacon, that should wake up Chewy.........The 600 lbs is in 5lb packs, I had the Chuck of one cow, made into 2lb GB packs and 3-1 burgers............

You know, someone might just think you were involved in some sort of commercial operation. Maybe a place to eat?
 
Oh, yeah, and I'm sorry about waking Chewy.

I like a nice 8oz ground steak with a little mushroom gravy and mashed potatoes! Mmmmm.... comfort food!

You probably have already thought of these, but:
 
Stuffed green bell peppers
Macaroni, ground beef & tomato (called by various names)
Egg noodles with ground beef
Lasagna
Spaghetti with meat balls
Shepherd's pie
 

Stuffed cabbage, too. And don't forget the meatloaf and the Salisbury steak.

There's a debate on what this stuff is called:
 
American Chop Suey,  American Goulash, Slumgullion or garbage special.  Comfort food should be a good sell and it's easy to make.

Speaking (okay it was only me) of comfort food.. how about tamale pie?  Are we talking about selling this idea?

And Johnny Marzetti. Don't forget Johnny Marzetti, named for the brother of the woman who owned Marzetti's Restaurant in Columbus, Ohio. Same family that makes and markets Marzetti dressings.

Selling this idea ????? What, you want royalties ???????

I see 6star mentioned it above me by no names. (I was thinking Johnny Marconi...  Radio Tube shaped pasta.
Good stuff!
 
 

Royalties...  what a nice idea.
 
Nope, I don't want to lose my unemployment check.
 
Seems I didn't fill in the last form correctly... no check for over two weeks!

A PNWC version of a Loco Moco?

Meatball stew
Salisbury steaks with onion gravy

Make swedish meatballs. 1oz. meatballs. By my calc. 9600 toothpicks. LOL

Sutffed peppers might go over really well; also cabbage rolls. 

Great suggestions so far-all I know is that I would love a burger made with your beef!

beef florentine casserole - it's fabulous!!  can be prepared ahead and frozen and then finish cooking it later.

Bacon Cheeseburger Pasta
 
To make it go even quicker, DO NOT cook the bacon yourself; get a jar of Hormel Bacon Bits (glass jar with black label over by the croutons & salad dressing) and throw the whole thing in there.
 
 
        8 ounces uncooked penne pasta  (or smaller noodles, rotini works nicely; if you use the wheat noodles, cook them for the longest time possible)
        1 pound ground beef
        6 bacon strips, diced  (takes too much time, use a jar or 2 of the Hormel bacon bits)
        1 can (10-3/4 ounces) condensed tomato soup, undiluted
        1 cup (4 ounces) shredded cheddar cheese
        Barbecue sauce and prepared mustard, optional
Cook pasta according to package directions. Meanwhile, in a large skillet, cook beef over medium heat until no longer pink; drain and set aside.
In the same skillet, cook bacon until crisp; remove with a slotted spoon to paper towels. Discard drippings. Drain pasta; add to the skillet. Stir in the soup, beef and bacon; heat through. Sprinkle with cheese; cover and cook until the cheese is melted. Serve with barbecue sauce and mustard if desired. Yield: 4-6 servings.
 

Nana & Grammy’s Pasty’s
 
2 refrigerated pie crusts (or make your own, Martha)
1 pound cheapest fattiest ground beef you can find, browned with the onions, if not all veggies
carrots, peeled & chopped up
1 onion, peeled & chopped up
potatoes, peeled & chopped up
optional: 1 rutabaga, peel & chopped up
 
^^ chop them small!!!!
 
In a glass pie plate, bake for 20 minutes at 450 degrees F, then reduce heat to 350 degrees F and bake for forty minutes. Cool for at least fifteen minutes on the sheet before eating. Serve with ketchup, butter, or whatever turns you on.

Norwegian Pizza:

1 1/2 lbs ground beef
cream of mushroom, celery, chicken or cheese soup
1 medium onion, chopped
1 bag tater tots

Press RAW ground beef flat into a 9x13 pan, like you're making cookie bars. Sprinkle salt & pepper over meat, sprinkle onions over that. Spread undiluted soup over that, put tater tots in rows over that. Bake @ 350 for 90 minutes. Cut along the tater tots for your pieces, and eat with a fork, this pizza.


If you use cheese soup, it tastes like cheeseburgers & fries.
 

SD, thanks for taking the time and the great suggestions.....

PNWCHEF, you don't happen to post under the name Badger40 at another website, do you?
