   Some ideas we do for ground beef – not sure if any of them would work for you:

   Meatball subs
   Mini meatloaves & mac-n-cheese
   Taco salad
   Beef Quesadillas (you mix it with Campbells Nacho Fiesta Cheese soup)
   Cheese/rotel dip with ground beef (for an appetizer for a party)
   Pasta Bake (pasta, cream cheese, chives, ground beef, sauce, etc – could give you the recipe if you wanted)
   Baked Mostaciolli (my husband’s favorite)
   Shepherd’s Pie (never actually made this, but have eaten it)

   My favourite way to use up hamburger is called the Washday Casserole. When I was a child we had a ringer washer and had to hang the clothes on the line so it was a full day job.
   It is easy to substitute veggies for what you have on hand as well as adjust the amounts.

   Slice up:
   3 potatoes
   3 carrots 3
   3stalks of celery

   chop up one onion.
   Brown 1 lb. of ground beef, drain and rinse with water.

   Layer potatoes, then carrots and celery into casserole. Put ground beef on top and then sprinkle with chopped onions.

   Pour over top 1 can of sodium-reduced tomato soup and one can of water. Cover and cook at 350 F for one hour or until veggies are done. If you don’t have tomato soup I’ve used a can of tomatoes however my kids didn’t like the lumps!

   Where do you find the marked down bread at Kroger? Also, I never see marked down chicken there. Is it kept in the same area as the “Manager Special” on beef or is it separate? Thanks!

   I make a version of the Rachel Ray recipe for Mexican Deep Dish Pizza with ground beef (most of the time I use ground turkey). It’s basically a twist on tacos, but instead of using tortillas or shells, you put it on top of corn bread. Great idea for Martha White cornbread mixes I snatched up at Harris Teeter during triples. Also included a link for a similar recipe that is for Barbeque Sloppy Joes. Enjoy!
