Mouthwatering Meatloaf and Cheesy Potatoes

• When you’re not sure what to do with ground hamburger, meatloaf is an easy American classic. Mix together ground beef, breadcrumbs, onion, eggs, parsley and ketchup. Add some coarsely chopped smoked bacon to liven up the flavor of the beef. For a spicy kick and a twist on this American classic, add some chipotle chiles to the mix. Or simply serve the meatloaf with barbecue sauce when it comes out of the oven. Serve with cheesy potatoes on the side: hash browns mixed with cream of chicken soup, sour cream and cheddar cheese with cornflakes on top, baked to perfection.

Beautiful and Beefy Hash Brown Skillet

• Some of the ultimate comfort food is breakfast for dinner—or "brinner," as some call it. With hamburger and hash browns, you can whip up a beef and hash brown skillet in no time. Simply cook the beef in a skillet and then stir in water, ketchup and Worcestershire sauce. Add the hash browns and cook until the hash browns are tender and ready to eat. Top the creation with cheese and enjoy with a tall glass of orange juice.

Perfect Potato Cake With Meat Sauce

• If you have frozen shredded hash browns, you can make potato cakes in no time. Simply mix together thawed hash browns with eggs and garlic and form into flat pancake-like shapes. The egg will help the hash browns hold together. Fry the cake on both sides until golden brown. For the meat sauce, cook the ground beef and add onion, mushroom, tomato paste and a little brown sugar. Serve the meat sauce on top of the potato cake with a dollop of sour cream.

Tasty Tex-Mex Casserole

• Hash browns and hamburger can make one mean Tex-Mex casserole. Cook the meat in a skillet with garlic and enchilada sauce to infuse your meat with some zesty spice. In a bowl, toss together hash browns, eggs and chopped onion. Press your potato mixture into an oven-safe pan and pour the hamburger sauce on top. Sprinkle with cheese before baking. After you take the casserole out of the oven, serve with avocado slices, sour cream and diced tomatoes.
