Babylady4... I am thinking positive thoughts for you today. Hang in there.
Ok share some of these good meals you are making... what do you guys make with ground beef. Here is my issue... picky family. We purchase our beef locally from a farmer down the road and while I know what do with a roast or steaks... there is always tons of ground beef.
I make lots of burgers, meatballs and tacos. I used to make chili but hard to make that for just me as the others dont eat it. Made a salisbury steak the other day off a receipe nad was surprised to find it was very similar to meatballs and gravy that my german grandma use to make all the time growing up. Rich and yummy. Make shepards pie once in a while, although my kids dont like potatoes( i know.. wierd kids). They dont like sloppy joes, although Dh will eat them without celery (i like that crunch)
Help... what else to make with ground beef.

Trying to eat out less(we usually eat out one dinner a week and one weekend lunch) and cook from scratch more... need ideas and my family is not big on casseroles with things mixed together... grrr.

my personal favorite is meatloaf,,,when the girls were small I could always hide some veggies in it,,,carrots, peas, spinach,,,whatever

good for a main meal with taters of choice added, have you tried "cheesy mashed" , OR have you fried noodles or rice as a side,,,different yet easy,,leftovers for sandwiches,,or reheated,,,,

2nd choice when the kids were small esp,,,,spaghetti (homemade sauce or can of diced maters, grn pepper, onion, etc) over macaroni noodles,,,hamburger helper without the help....lol

3rd, get a box of "dirty rice mix" (or make your own) then warm some soft tortias and build roll ups,,,,sour cream, shredded cheese, basic taco toppings

4th,,,spanish rice but add some of that burger

my problem was one DD didn't like veggies or fruit,,,the other didn't do meat when she hit 12,,,,that was a challenge

kristip: One of my fav's for ground beef (can't make it anymore as its not GF). Mix a lil milk with hanburger and patty out flat. Drop a Tbsp or two of stuffing in the middle and form a ball around it. Then put the balls in a pan and pour a can of Cream of mushroom soup mix (with 1 Tbsp of Worshester sause mixed in) over the top and bake. Or calico beans? Or meatloaf? (My kids love it as I add smoek sauce, lots of onions and smoke sauce into it, then bake them in cupcake tins and pour bbq sauce over the top before baking) Can you tell Im hungry? Almost Lunchtime!!!

first thing to make is make your kids hungry.. then the fussy eaters are not so fussy..

I just came on to look up a wiring diagram for the tractor..

I was in town, but got called to come home.. my bro and sister were here to visit me.. now they have left and I did not deliver the eggs, so Annie volunteered to do that.. Nephew is up in the kitchen chopping up 80 pounds of tomatoes.. going to make lots of salsa.. I showed him how to cut up a tomato for the least amount of waste.. no digging the stem out required..

going online now .. bbl

Vic, so sorry to hear about Soup being such a Heather, I mean beyotch.    I hope you get her attitude adjusted quick.     

Really?! We just had such a nice phone call the other day too! And NO ONE is gonna get my attitude adjusted quick.... And right about now I wish CC lived closer so I could wipe purulent material on her...



Got 5 eggs just now. My first 5 egg day! So cool

I've been doing research about Shandy on BYC forums and some recommended 2 Vitamin B Complex ground up and sprinkled into the food. Think I'll do that too... Have read some positive outcomes so I'm encouraged.

She's not walking anymore. It's more flopping around with her wings and trying to use the good leg to her advantage while doing so.

How much of this Cat's Claw should I use?

Hi raim!

Mxm.... The egg is a good idea. Beat up an egg with a dribble of water and mix in 1 of the caps.(opened) give her 1/4 of the mix at a time. It's hard to think of a dose for a chicken lol For cats I generally think 1/8 a human dose or less. So figure 1/16 of a human dose for a chicken? However, for sever cases you may want to up the dose for a few days.
Valerian root, Damiana sage, and Scullcap would also help in small doses. Theses are also used as sedatives so you have to be careful, but they also heal nerve damage. I have tried to find information on what herbs are toxic and safe for birds/chickens but it's going a little rough.
