coasterqueen replied: What about hamburger horseshoes?  Can you make the hamburger into patties?
sparkys2boys replied:
lol.. huh??? what is that??? Yes, I could make patties.. but?????
Boys r us replied: What are hamburger horseshoes Karen?
You could use the hamburger to make Baked Spaghetti or my personal fave is if the meat is ground chuck or better you can pat them out and then mix up 1 pack of lipton soup mix,2 cans cream mushroom soup, 8 oz sour cream and pepper then pour mixture over the patties and bake and voila..you have country style steak. You could do tacos, baked Ziti, chili, taco salad, beef stroganoff.
coasterqueen replied: Ok, hamburger horseshoes are the BOMB! Well, you can use any meat. We used left-over turkey from Christmas to make them. They are fattening, though. 
You take a piece of toast, put it on the plate. Then you take a cooked hamburger patty and put it on toast. Then take baked fries (or fried, whatever) and put them on top of patty and toast. Then you take a cheese sauce (we make ours with Velveeta cheese block, milk, butter and flour) and pour that over the rest of the stuff and VIOLA! YUMMY FOR YOUR TUMMY!  
All this talk of food is making me so hungry!!!!!
coasterqueen replied: You can make nachos too. Fry the hamburger (seasoned), pour that over top taco chips, cover top with shredded cheeses and bake.
sparkys2boys replied: karen, I have never heard of this..lol!! I still don't get the name though..lol?? They do sound diffrent.. but I don't have the velveeta cheese on hand.. I think it would be very good with the turkey..mmm..!!
coasterqueen replied:
Yeah, central IL is about the only place I've heard/been able to order them. I know I can get one at a Steak N' Shake here, but if I go 2 hours south of here and still in IL they haven't heard of them. There are even restaurants here who specialize in horseshoes. Not sure where the name came from. 
TheOaf66 replied:
i don't get why they are called horseshoes?
where I come from we call the s*it on a shingle whenever you put a bunch of stuff on a piece of toast 
coasterqueen replied:
The S on S is considered something different here.
Boys r us replied: okay that sounds realllly yummy Karen!!! But whoa..I don't even want to think about the fat content or calories!! I must make these for Rick one night!
coasterqueen replied:
Yeah, don't think about the fat content when you are making it. You could use wheat bread, low fat hamburger, fat-free milk, light butter, and light velveeta cheese and it would help.
My DH LOVES them. If you make your sauce just right they are to die for!!!! My girls love them too. We don't make them often, though. Ham, turkey, beef patty, pork patty, they are all good to sue. Ham and turkey shoes are the best.
mom2my2cuties replied: That does sound interesting.
SOS - Isn't that like Ground beef (or sausage) in white gravy?
sparkys2boys replied: the whols s/s thing has me wondering.. ewwww.. what a name to give a food item!!!! DH just called and I told him I didn't think I wanted to make meatloaf anymore and he sooked..lol.. he said I was soooo looking forward to it.. geesh.. guess we are having meatloaf with double stuffed baked potatoes and salad.. blahhh...not want I want but oh well
CantWait replied: I say spagetti. That's what we're having for dinner tonight.
mom2my2cuties replied:
Do you have a crockpot? If so I will post my crockpot meatloaf & potatoes recipe for you  It's yummy
Meatloaf on a Bed of Potatoes - Crockpot
2 T olive oil
3 large russets, cut into 1 to 1-1/2” chunks
2 lb ground sirloin
2 large eggs, beaten
3/4 cup crushed saltine crackers
3/4 cup ketchup
2 T dehydrated onions (optional)
1 tsp salt
Freshly ground black pepper
Topping
3/4 cup ketchup
1/3 cup brown sugar
1 tsp Dijon mustard
Combine oil and potatoes in crock pot, toss to coat. Spread in an even layer on the bottom of the crock.
In a large bowl, combine beef, eggs, crumbs, ketchup, onion, salt and pepper. Mix gently, do not compact. Shape into oval or round, place on top of potatoes. Spread with topping.
Cover and cook on High for 1 hour. Reduce heat to Low and continue to cook for 6-7 hours, or until a meat thermometer reads 160º to 165ºF.
notes: I used plain ketchup for the topping since that is my family’s preference. To make the meatloaf easier to remove: Take two long pieces of foil and fold them into two strips. Place them across each other over the potatoes and set the meatloaf on top. Use as handles to remove when the meatloaf is done.
sparkys2boys replied:
yes, I do.. please let me know.. this sounds diffrent.. I LOVE MY CROCKPOT..lol!!! I use it all the time!!
mom2my2cuties replied: I added it to my earlier post.. I don't know what I was thinking.
I love my crockpot too... I just can't wait to be feeling really NORMAL again and feeling like my house isn't over run with my husband's business.
sparkys2boys replied:

mom2my2cuties replied: Yeah that is one of those prep it early because it takes all day things. Have you ever tried the meatloaf recipes on the back of the hunts meatloaf sauce can? It is REALLY good...Very different than most meatloafs. I don't have it off hand, but it is really good
luvmykids replied: Meatballs!

sparkys2boys replied:

Cece00 replied: Do you have any packages of scalloped potatoes? If so, I've got a REALLY good recipe for it with ground beef.

Stuff (my husbands name for it)
1 jar salsa - your choice, 16 oz.
however many chicken breasts you need. We use about 5 to have leftovers too.
Put in crockpot and turn on low all day.
you can add in things too - i have added corn and black beans.
You can eat the chicken as is or take the chicken out, shred it and mix a little of the salsa/sauce (it gets really thin) with it and use it as a taco filling.
the chicken gets a really good flavor, and you can spoon the salsa over cooked rice and it is so yummy!
Beef and Guinness Pie
Serves 6
1 lb lean stew meat, cut into cubes
flour, salt and pepper for dredging meat (also used Cavender’s Greek Seasoning)
2 T vegetable oil
1 can Guinness Stout (the alcohol cooks out, leaving just the flavor-yum!)
3-4 large carrots, cut up
1 medium onion, cut up
1 T corn starch for thickening stew, pre-mixed into 2 Tbsp. cold water
1 pkg Pepperidge Farm frozen pastry dough (2 sheets)
Dredge stew meat in flour and sauté in hot skillet until meat turns brown on all sides. Place browned meat in crock pot or Dutch oven and cover with Guinness. Let cook, the time depending on setting of crock pot ( Low for 8 to 10 hours or on High 4 hours) or oven (3 to 4 hours at 250º). An hour before serving, thaw dough and add vegetables to crock pot. Thicken stew with cornstarch mixture. Place 1 layer of dough into a sprayed 9x13 casserole dish and bake at 350 for 10 minutes or until golden, puffy and flaky. Pour (ladle) stew mixture onto baked pastry and cover with second layer of dough. Place in a 350 oven until top layer of dough becomes a puffy flaky pastry.
Notes: Doubled the meat and carrots, cooked in slow cooker on Low for 6 hours. Didn’t need the cornstarch.

Season with salt and pepper to taste. Serve as a taco in fresh hot tortillas, topped with cheese, caramelized onions and salsa. Or serve with roasted or mashed potatoes.
Note: If desired, drain the tomatoes to avoid the thin sauce (makes a great broth though!)

1 small jar liquid smoke
1 bottle of your favorite BBQ sauce
The night before, place brisket in large ziploc bag. Pour in next 4 ingredients.

CrockPot Garlic Brown Sugar Chicken

1 cup brown sugar
2/3 cup vinegar
1/4 cup lemon lime soda
2-3 Tbsp. minced garlic
1 green bell pepper, sliced
2 Tbsp. soy sauce
1 tsp. pepper
PREPARATION:
Place chicken in slow cooker. Mix all remaining ingredients and pour over chicken. Cook on low for 6-8 hours. Serve over rice or noodles.

2 C ketchup
4 tbsp. brown sugar

Mix all ingredients (except chicken) in crock-pot. Add the chicken, coating each piece in sauce. Cook on high 4 hours. Remove chicken and shred/pull with forks. Return to pot and stir in sauce to coat. Serve on buns.
I add an extra step to the cooking process. When the chicken is done cooking I shred like the recipe says and mix it up really well with the sauce. Leave the lid off the crock-pot and cook it on high for another 30-60 minutes. This allows the chicken to soak up more of the juices and it becomes even more tender and flavorful and less watery since the lid is off.

1/2 cup chicken broth
1/2 chopped onion
Brush chicken with butter and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Place in a Crock Pot and sprinkle 1 pkg dry mix over all. Cover and cook on low for 6 to 7 hours. About 45 minutes before done, brown onion in 1/4 cup of juices from Crock Pot. Add soup, second packet of dry dressing mix, cream cheese and chicken broth. Cook until smooth. Pour over the chicken and cover and cook another 45 minutes.
Serve with sauce. Goes great with rice, stuffing, pasta or mashed potatoes!

Chicken Tortilla Soup
4 Chicken breast halves
2 15 oz. cans black beans un-drained or Pinto Beans
1 15 oz. can Mexican stewed tomatoes or Rotel tomatoes
1 cup salsa
14.5 oz. can tomato sauce
Tortilla chips
Shredded cheddar cheese
Combine all ingredients, except chips and cheese, in large slow cooker. Cover and cook for 8 hours on low. Just before serving, remove chicken and cut into bite size pieces. Stir back into soup. To, serve, place a handful of chips into each bowl and ladle soup over chips, top with cheese. Can also add sour cream to crock.
notes: I have made this on the stove top with cooked chicken. I simmer it for about 30 minutes so the flavors have time to blend well. We also add a dollop of sour cream on the top. I use the pinto beans because I can’t stand black but I’m sure if you like them that it’s good that way too.
