Ground meat

[threemeninaboat]

Here ground chicken is ~$2lb, ground turkey is $3lb, ground lamb is $14lb, grass fed ground beef is $10lb, ground bison is $10lb, and ground ostrich is $10lb.
Today we found ground boar, ground kangaroo, and ground antelope for $7.50lb. I sure hope I like kangaroo because I bought a lot of it.

Things to make with ground meat:
Tacos
meatballs
meatball sandwiches
meat sauce
stroganoff
lackmajou (it's an arabic taco)
Burgers
pizza
sausage
CHILI MAC (oh lord, you KNOW I am making kangaroo chili mac the next time gows comes over)
lasagne
Stuffed peppers
burritos

Others?

larb. The oversimplified version I sometimes make is: cook the ground meat, add plenty of sriracha sauce and dried peppermint, eat with rice, and sometimes yogurt to cut the heat.

Growing up, my mom always called it Johnny Smart. I never knew other people ate this dish until I found it in the Cooking with Coolio book (yes, Coolio has his own cookbook) labeled Chili Mac Pimpin'.
Uncle Mark said that when he was a an army chef this was the most popular dish with the soldiers, and was served with a side of steamed broccoli.

Chili Mac

Cooked pasta
garlic and onions
ground meat
can of tomatoes
beans
spices (cumin, oregano, chili powder, fines herbs)
S&P
grated cheese
(maybe sour cream)


Start your salty water for your pasta. Make pasta while making chili.

Sweat your onions and garlic. Add meat to brown. When meat is browned add tomatoes and beans and spices. Heat. Add S&P. Combine chili with pasta.
Plate. Add grated cheese over the top. Maybe sour cream.

You can use whatever is in the fridge: corn, hominy, avocado, corn chips, peppers, cabbage....
