Hamburg Creole

Submitted by Terri Newell

"This spicy meat sauce is equally delicious served over rice, mashed potatoes or pasta. It's quick and easy, and reheats well. I got the original recipe from another website and made several changes to it to suit our family."

This meal was alright. I made over pasta. I think the next time it would be better with rice. It is tasty. Thank you for the idea.

I was looking for a new way to prepare hamburg and came across this recipe. I made it with mashed potatoes and it was really good. I think I will add some Cajun seasoning next time. We like our food spicy!
