Life with Ground Beef....

I forgot to add some comments about my quest to find new recipes to use Ground Beef in...

Since we bought a quarter of a cow from BIL (brother in law for those that don't speak text or forum speak) and it seems as though half of it is ground beef in 2 1/2 pound bags instead of 1 pound bags, I've got to have at least 2 ground beef meals per week when we thaw it out and can sometimes get three meals.

So, If you have any yummy ground beef recipes to pass along, please send them to me!!

Thus far I've scoured the site www.allrecipes.com which is one of my favs and have come up with 2 that we've made thus far.

The Mac N Cheese with Ground Beef needed some extra help....I'll probably tweak and remake it and try again.

The Enchilada recipe I really liked and Ben did too. I tweaked a bit upon making it and halved the recipe since it was just the two of us.

Here's the recipe I used for anyone that wants to try it...I halved it...
