"A quick meal that easily doubles or triples. Also freezes well. Experiment with different spices to your taste. Also works with ground turkey or lamb. Left over mashed potatoes make this dinner a snap."

Fast, easy, and good. This basic recipe can be customized the way you like it or with what you have on hand. I added sliced mushrooms, green pepper, a few green beans and a couple healthy splashes of Worcestershire sauce. -
I have been making this for years(with more cheese). The kids (some are very picky) love it. it's fast and easy. All I have to add is a side veggie. -
This simple and delicious recipe is crowd pleasing dish that I will serve again and again. It's easy to prepare and affordable too. I added mixed vegetables to the recipe for additional flavor.

Delicious recipe. I added peas and corn on top of the ground beef. I also added green peppers with the hamburger.
