BBQ Sanwiches

One 3lb beef brisket
1/2 c. water
3 tbs white vinegar
2 tbs Worcestershire sauce
1 tsp ground cumin or chili powder
1 c. bottled bbq sauce

Cut meat, if necessary, to fit into crock pot. Mix together water, vinegar, Worcestershire sauce, cumin or chili powder, pour over meat in cooker. Cover and cook on low 10-12 hours or on high 4-5 hours.

About 1 hour before serving, remove meat from cooker and cool to touch. Shred meat, and discard fat.

Discard liquid from crock pot. Set crockpot on high and return shredded meat to crockpot, stir in bbq sauce, cook for 30-45 minutes. Serve on buns. Serves 10.

Beer Burgers

1 lb ground beef, 1 package dry ranch dressing mix, 3/8 cup (3oz) beer. Mix all ingredients. Form into patties.

(I cook them on the George Foreman, works great!)

I like to top mine with a squirt of bbq sauce, a strip of bacon, provolone cheese, tomato and avocado

Tater Tot Casserole

This comes from Campbell's Kitchen .com.

And easy and tasty one. Not too healthy but not terribly unhealthy either.
Ive done French Fry Casserole, but this is my first time for this one.

1lb gr. beef, 1 medium onion chopped, 1 can Condensed Cream of Mushroom Soup (I used the one with roasted garlic) 1 tbs ketchup (I doubled the ketchup) 1 tbs Worcestershire sauce (I omitted this simply because I don't have it on hand and I'm trying to cut grocery costs down) 3 cups frozen tater tots
I also added tons of minced garlic in my ground beef, and hamburger seasoning, Mc.Kormic brand.

Cook beef and onion in skillet over med high heat until beef is brown, stirring to break up the meat. Pour off fat. I used lean meat so I didn't have any fat to pour off. I wonder how good ground turkey would be in this recipe?
Stir soup, ketchup and Worcestershire into skillet. Spoon mixture into 12x8 shallow baking dish. Arrange tots around edges of casserole. (I added some all over, not just on the edges) Bake at 425 for 25 minutes or until tots are done.

Cheeseburger Pasta

I made this Cheeseburger Pasta last night, and I will not post the picture nor the recipe because I didn't like it. It didn't taste bad, it wasn't terrible, but it was just like the boxed Hamburger Helper....which I really don't like.

So, onto to trying something else...
