1.5 lb of hamburger... quick, what to make for supper?

Thanks again to all.

Ozmoid, the Impossible Cheeseburger Pie was a big hit with Mrs. Louie and our daughter, who said it was 'amazing'. That, apparently, is the buzzword of youth for something good, like 'awesome' was in the 80's.

I'm'a hafta try that! I spose you could use some excellent cheddar rather than cheapie American cheese...

Well, I used extra sharp cheddar, along with the other mods to Ozmoid's recipe mentioned above. Mrs. Louie says that next time I should drizzle ketchup and mustard over the top before pouring on the bisquick. She used to own a supper club, and they made a cheeseburger pizza wherein they did just that and it was great (so she claims). Worth a try...I imagine it would give the whole works a true cheeseburger flavor.
 
Impossible Cheeseburger Pie:

Brown the beef with some chopped onion, drain and remove to a baking dish. Cover with shredded cheddar. Mix some "Bisquick" (or your favorite insta-bread stuff) a little on the thin side, and pour it over the beef mixture. Bake according to the bread directions.

Don't want to hijack the premise, but....
I used to make something like this, but with salmon for the base - YUM
 
I bet you could make 'something like this' with a lot of things.

My wife makes a similar thing with chicken, cream of chicken soup and vegetables, that's sort of a 'pot pie'.
 
You guys got me thinking of the Bisquick impossible cheeseburger pie, so that's what is on the menu for tonight.

Still on the subject: Another recipe I like (as does the family) which is really just a form of meat loaf is what I call taco meatloaf. Do up your gbeef as you would a basic loaf (beef, 1 or 2 eggs and cracker crumbs, bread crumbs or oatmeal for texture/filler) with a large onion chopped medium small. Add about 3 tbs of mild or medium red chili powder. Bake as usual. Drain off the crud that cooks out of the loaf. Top with a good fat handful of shredded cheese of your choice. I use Monterrey Jack or Med Cheddar. Return to oven and bake long enough for cheese to melt into loaf. Serve with Spanish rice or fideo pasta and corn with mild green chili . The "bread" side can be corn or flour tortillas to keep with the "taco" motif.
 
How about Meatloaf made in a crockpot? Sounds strange, but it IS good.

Another great meatloaf tip is to distribute the loaf into a muffin tin. Cuts the cooking time way down, and the kids love having their "own" meatloaf. Also makes storing/serving leftovers neat, too.

(And we all know the best part is the "crust"... :D)

Hey, that's a spiffy idea. There's a big cupcake craze going on y'know...you could open a shop selling individual meatloafs. :scratch2: Offer some different flavors - cajun (deep fried), italian, barbeque, Grandma's traditional (bacon wrapped), vegetarian, or just the top like muffin tops. You could call it Meatloafers.

Hey guys, I think I'm really onto something here. :D

I agree completely - and am getting very hungry just thinking about it. Would the muffintop become the crust? YUM!

Yep.

Then you got the southern version, a la Paula Dean: batter fried meatloaf! Or maybe a slab of meatloaf between 2 Krispy Kreams.
 
Thread has taken a decidedly hard right turn into the ditch.

It's because my computer has those Krispy Kreme tires on it. I hit a patch of ice and went right off the road.

Next time I'm getting peanut-covered Dunkin tires because they give better traction.
 
Kohn's Law: Any internet thread, given enough posts, will eventually devolve into a discussion of Krispy Kreme.

You know, Hitler liked donuts.
