1 Onion, sliced
1 Cup Mushrooms, sliced
1 Cup Corn, frozen
1 Garlic Clove, minced
To Taste Salt and Pepper
1 Pkg. Hamburger, fried
1 ½ Cups Long Grain White Rice
3 Cups Beef Broth
1 Tbsp Margarine (optional)
1 Tbsp Parsley, finely chopped

In a large pot, heat oil. Fry onion, mushrooms, corn, garlic, salt, and pepper until onion is soft.

Add beef, rice and beef broth. Bring to a boil. Stir and reduce heat to a low simmer. Cook for 15 minutes.

Drop margarine in pot. Do NOT stir. Turn off heat but leave pot on burner for a further 10 minutes, or until rice is cooked and liquid is absorbed.

Turn into a serving dish and gently fluff with a fork. Sprinkle with parsley.

Always In The Freezer

My first piece of advice on hamburger is – always have some in the freezer!

I like to buy the bulk packages of ground beef (on sale, preferably), fry it up, drain the fat off of it, and then pack it in freezer bags in 2 cup portions. It’ll keep this way in the freezer for three to six months, but I find it never lasts that long.

I use it in all kinds of dishes – sprinkled on pizzas, in a rice and corn dish I invented (see next post), in soups, in casseroles…

Hamburger is so versatile and easy its hard for it not to go with whatever it is you want it to go with!

Enjoy!

Singing The Virtues Of Hamburger!

Poor, lowly hamburger! Or ground beef as some call it. It is never quite given a place at the head table, it it? And why not?!

Its versatile! Its yummy! Its quick!

Therefore, I created a blog to declare the virtues of hamburger (or ground beef) to all who visit.

I hope to share with you tidbits of information on the subject of hamburger, as well as recipes (I have a lot!). In return I hope you will come to think of hamburger as 'your friend in the freezer' and perhaps share different versions of the recipes I post, or new recipes, by commenting in the comments section.

Happy reading...and eating!
