Hamburgcreole Recipes

HAMBURG CREOLE

Steps:

• Brown and drain ground beef, onion and garlic.
• Add liquid from canned tomatoes [reserve tomatoes].
• Add green pepper, celery, paprika, salt and cayenne.
• Heat to boil, then cover and simmer until vegetables are tender, about 20 minutes.
• Blend flour with 1/4 cup cold water. Add to meat mixture gradually. Cook and stir until slightly thickened.
• Add reserved tomatoes and heat through.
• Serve over pasta, rice or potatoes.
• Note -- this reheats well. It thickens with standing.

QUICK AND EASY HAMBURGER STROGANOFF

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook egg noodles in the boiling water, stirring occasionally until cooked through but firm to the bite, about 5 minutes; drain.
• Melt butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Saute onion in hot butter until translucent, about 5 minutes. Add ground beef to skillet in small chunks; cook and stir to break the beef into smaller pieces as it cooks until no longer pink, 5 to 7 minutes.
• Sprinkle flour over the beef mixture, stir, and cook for 1 minute. Stir mushrooms and garlic salt into the beef mixture. Pour mushroom soup and chicken soup over beef, stir, and cook until hot, about 5 minutes; add sour cream, stir until smooth, and cook until again hot, 2 to 3 minutes more. Pour beef mixture over the cooked egg noodles.

CREOLE BURGERS

Steps:

• In a small bowl, mix together mayonnaise, mustard, and 1 teaspoon (more if you like things spicier) creole seasoning; set aside.
• In a larger bowl, mix together the ground beef, worcestershire sauce and 1 teaspoon creole seasoning; combine well.
• Shape beef mixture into 4 patties.
• Grill or broil patties to desired degree of doneness, turning once.
• Spread mustard mixture on split hamburger buns.
• On bun bottom, add lettuce, tomato, onion, and patty; cover with bun top.
• I dip each bite of my burger in ketchup, too--yummy.
