TACOS!

Smear it on your balls, and call the dog over.
Potatoes + Beef + other random shit = Shepherd's pie.

I may do this, it's been at least a month since I made one of those. :D
Wooo, I win!
meatloaf
There's only a pound of it. Who can eat only one pound of meatloaf?
I'm not sure how much you can bulk out meatloaf, so it'd be an iffy thing. That and solidarity for the anti meatloaf front.
I also (hopefully) have a bit of bacon which is going into the pie mix as well.
That and the metric fuckton of potatoes I have to use up :|
This will necessitate stopping for veggies and sauce components, and cheese, hence I shall also find beer.
I does loves some Tacos thou, that ma be next week...
If you have a mandolin, use up the potatoes by making potato chips. It'd be a fun project.
And maybe use carrots for the mash instead, or as a flavoring. That's probably just me though, since I have a 25 lb bag of carrots I need to kill.
Mmm.. chips...
Sadly these are all packets of instant stuff. It' not abomidable, and it was cheap (my survivalist side took over.)
Your other suggestion, you mean top it with mashed carrot?
Cut the potatoes with carrot.
It's fk'n good.
meh. It was just off the top of my head. Usually, if I don't have hamburger buns (or am not in the mood), I do a meat and vegetable medley...whatever veggies I have hanging around, with some onion, garlic and potatoes...cooked up in a big pan and seasoned to taste.
Or a variation of the shepard's pie theme:
Hamburger Pie
1 lb. ground beef
1/2 cup chopped onion
1/2 t. salt
dash pepper
2 cups cut green beans, cooked (or canned)
1 10 3/4 oz can condensed tomato soup
5 medium potatoes, cooked
1/2 cup warm milk
1 beaten egg
1/2 cup shredded cheese
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
In large skillet, cook meat and onion until browned. Add salt and pepper. Add beans and soup. Pour into greased casserole dish. Mash potatoes while hot, add milk and egg. Spoon in mounds over meat in casserole. season with salt and pepper. sprinkle potatoes with cheese. Bake (covered) in moderate oven (350 F) for 25-30 mins. Remove cover during last 5-10 minutes so that cheese is golden brown and delicious. Makes 4-6 servings.
ETA: forgot part about uncovering casserole dish.
You're joking! WHERE'S THE FOCKING TAMARIND?
GYin: that sounds DAMN tasty
Felix, will have to try that. posting recipe for what I did after I've eaten
What I did:
prep 1/8 lb. bacon
brown 1 lb hamburger on top of that when it's done
crush 1 clove garlic into the mess
add 1/3 cup or small chopped of each: green pepper, onion, and shaved carrot
add 1/2 cup water
brown gravy mix, chili powder, adobo, ketchup and Worcestershire sauce to taste
place into the bottom of a casserole. Top with 1 package "sour cream and chives" instant mashed potatoes., and sprinkle on some seasoned bread crumbs.
Bake 20 min. at 350 degrees F.
Serve, top w/ a bit of sharp cheddar
Put it in yo mouf.
Leftovers will provide fuel for days.

Mix it in with your cereal. Yeah, I know, bathing beef in milk does seem a little wrong.
Brother, that shit just ain't KOSHER.
There's this meatball thing I do that the kids love: mix one egg into a lb of ground beef, salt and pepper it, and add some bread crumbs and chopped onions. Knead together and then form balls. Roll balls in crushed potato chips (good if you have the bottom of a bag of stale chips leftover from something), and place on a pan. Cut some bacon lengthwise and in half, make bacon x's over the balls. Bake til browned. Serve with some worcestshire sauce or bbq sauce.

GROOOOOSS!!!
no im kidding that doesnt sound bad
sounds good!
i think cheese-onion chips would go great with this :D
so let me get this straight, you place long cut bacon ribbons over the balls in a crossing pattern, kind of like you would do with dough for a pie? or do you make one cross per ball?
and then you bake them in the oven? (at what heat, about?)
or the pan on a stove? does it need a lid?
do you need fat butter or oil in the pan?
and don't the balls need turning? (then how does that work with the bacon)
You cut the bacon in quarters, I guess. Lengthwise and widthwise, once each. Then cross them in an "x" on each ball. Baking sheet needs no grease, and the temp about 375'F, and time til they are browned. I use the oven, because that's what the recipe in the old-timey cookbook I got it out of called for. I've found most GOOD meatball recipes call for browning in the oven before they go in anything, anyway. Otherwise they disntegrate if you cook them in a pot. ETA: no need to turn them.
Cheese-onion chips sound yummy...I have some rosemary n thyme ones I bought that maybe I'll use for this purpose next week...
cool. i'm going to make these soon.
Reading this thread somehow gave me the idea to use cookie cutters on bacon to make bacon cookies.

Fucks yes, now I have to do it.
Damn. I need bacon for dinner now.
We have bacon. Come on down.

I'll show up eventually. Expect me when you see me.
Until then, the bacon shall remain in the freezer.

:D Lemme know how you like 'em. I'm interested in alternative sauces to have them with, as well, if you think of one.

Pix or it never happened.
It never happened. BLTs turned out to be a better idea.
I'm still working on how to sharpen a cookie cutter enough to do this well.
Just go get an xacto knife and do it by hand.
That or freeze the bacon before you cut it.
It's an idea, but then it's just cut bacon.
Which is all the cookie cutter does, really, I guess I'm just hung up on the absurdity of it.
If you really get into it as an art form, you could do much more impressive stuff with the razor.
I do have a few old straight razors to play with.
A video of me cutting a heart shape out of huge slab of meat would be somewhere between my ideas of performance art and a come - on

Add avocado, and maybe you have a deal dude.
This is California.
I buy miniature avocados ten for a dollar.
Avocados go in EVERYTHING.
So does lime.

I must agree with you, even if I'm in Texas.
Dude, you frontin' like I AIN'T in CA, and like I DIN'T ALREADY KNOW THAT?!?!
Of course motherfucking avocado goes in. And lime.
And you forgot something: CILANTRO.
"Like, Helloooo. How can you have like avocado and lime and not cilantro? I mean, seriously?" :D
Good to have you so far down South, Felix.
It went limp. :(
Well, there are solutions for that. They just aren't for this thread, I think.

Tie the bacon on it tighter.
