Bull, dont treat a shit cut like its a steak. Find its strengths, and apply. I know you have found a wonderful application, but most of the time gb is shit, its the tails. Unless you are buying ground try tip. it's for consumption and the OP was/is looking for consumption. Life is what it is.

 

Halupki...my mother in law makes it and it is probably my favorite thing that she makes.

 

A simple and not too bad thing is baked beans mixed in with cooked hamburger and heated. Add in your favorite hot sauce if you want and you have a simple and tasty last minute throw together.

 

Faced with the ground beef challenge last night, I created this:

Pan scrambled 2.35 lbs meat with pepper and a little garlic.
Diced large and fried 2 green pepper and two onions in oil and a little butter.
Made 4 cups of biscuit dough from scratch.
Took a 9x13 glass baking pan and layered dough, meat, peppers and onions, a bunch of shredded cheese and then the rest of the dough.
45 minutes in a 350 oven.
Kind of a Philley cheese steak sandwich was what I was going for.

It was actually pretty good.

 

You know I loves me some meat!

 

I completely forgot about this.... thetes a magazine!

 

That looks like a winner right there on the cover!

However, usually I do my enchiladas "New Mexico" style. Flat and layered on a plate (tortilla, sauce, shredded cheese, tortilla... repeat for as many layers as you like). Top with a dollop of sour cream and chopped onions and ring it with some chopped iceberg lettuce (possibly tossed with some cilantro) and enjoy.

 

You can do the stuffed cabbage casserole style. Just wilt the cabbage leaves a bit and layer it in a baking dish like lasagna. My Polish family always called stuffed cabbage by its proper name...gelumpkis. Best food on the planet, and actually rather healthy if you sufficiently drain the fat from the beef after browning it.

 

I make lazy mans cabbage rolls often. Same stuff as regular cabbage rolls, but you just cut the cabbage into smaller pieces, and toss in a big pan with the browned meat, rice and everything else.

Tastes the same, comes out the same, just requires a shit ton less effort.

I don't really follow a "recipe" (I never do recipe's), but google lazy mans cabbage rolls, and I'm sure you'll find something

 

A friend's mother used to make Kapusta, parboiled cabbage sauteed in a dutch oven in oil with big slices of onion and garlic, salt and pepper. Boy, that stuff was good. You can throw some root vegetables in it also for variety.
His mother was Italian but his father was Polish so she learned to cook Polish food also.
She was the kind of Italian mother that, when we'd swing by his house at 3 am after a night of drinking, there'd be a pot of gravy simmering on the stove.
If we woke his mother with our talking, she'd come out and yell at us and then start making plates of food for us.
