Here's what we came with last night:

About 3/4 a cup of BBQ sauce
About 1/8 of a cup of Worcestershire sauce

- Add hamburger, Worcestershire, and salt and pepper to taste. Brown.
- Add BBQ sauce and let simmer for 15-20 minutes (until a little of the liquid cooks off)
What other thrown together recipes do you make when you have odd remnant ingredients?
One of the most common meals of my childhood was ground meat and rice. Quick cheap and easy, which means my this was a favorite of my moms. And it's exactly what it sounds like. Brown down onions and ground meat, seasoned to taste, server over rice. The problem with this meal is there is always to much for one adult and two kids, so there was always left over ground meat and rice. So mom would make "goulash" with the left overs. Brown a pack of smoked sausage with onions and bell pepper. Add left over ground meat. Once the ground meat is hot, add left over rice. Once rice is hot, make sure fire is on high, crack an egg over the mix, and stir till egg is cooked. I guess this would really be my moms take on fried rice!
ReplyDeleteThat sounds pretty interesting. I'll have to try that. We have some left over stuffing from stuffed cabbages that I think would be about the same thing. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteIf you throw some cream of mushroom soupd and mushrooms to the browned meat and rice, you have my famvorite "holy cow what should I make for dinner" meal.
