Dads Half Hamburgers Recipes

DAD'S HAMBURGER GRAVY

Steps:

• Crumble the ground beef into a large deep skillet over medium-high heat. Cook and stir until evenly browned. Drain most of the grease, leaving just enough to coat the pan. Add the onions, and cook for a few more minutes.
• Pour 4 cups of the milk into the pan, and stir to scrape up any bits of food that could burn on the bottom of the pan. Mix in the bouillon, butter, sage, salt and pepper. Bring to a boil, and cook for 5 minutes, stirring frequently.
• Mix the flour into the last cup of milk until smooth. Slowly pour into the skillet, stirring constantly. Simmer for a few minutes to thicken. If the gravy is too thick, thin with a little bit of milk. If it is too thin, simmer longer, or add more flour. Taste and adjust seasonings before serving.

MY DAD'S ITALIAN HAMBURGER HELPER

Steps:

• 1 Cook pasta as directed on box.
• 2 Meanwhile, brown ground beef with garlic powder and Italian seasoning.
• 3 Drain grease and add sauce.
• 4 Heat.
• 5 Drain pasta and add to sauce mixture.
• 6 Stir in cheese until it just melts.
• 7 Serve with garlic bread and salad.
• My Tip's: The only thing I added was a little bit of chopped onion when I brown the beef. I used a bit less pasta and a bit more beef (approx 25%). I used 1 cup cheddar cheese and 1/3 cup of cottage cheese to make it creamy at the end. It was twice as yummy the next day for lunch. This was a quick, easy recipe that I will be working into my OAMC routine. Today, I added garlic and chopped onion to the hamburg, like always. Next time, I will use half the pasta called for and will use my usual mix of basil and oregano in place of the italian seasonings.
