More Things to Do With Ground Beef

Need more ideas for things to cook with ground beef? Here's another collection of recipes from Deep South Dish blog to give you some inspiration!

More Things to Do With Ground Beef

Previously, I brought you a round-up of 25 Terrific Recipes to Make with Ground Beef and so many of you found it a convenient post to refer back to, that you asked for an updated list. I've added 23 more recipes from the website here for you to browse through at your convenience.

Some are very basic, some are older recipes from back before I even dreamed the sporadic food posts on my little original blog would become a bigger forum. Some recipes you may recognize, some you may have missed or forgotten about, but along with the first series, these should help to give you a well rounded reference point of some more things to do with ground beef, when you're looking for some inspiration. If you missed the first series, visit here to check them out!

Garlic Bread Butter Blend

My garlic bread butter blend is made using unsalted butter and some great seasonings, it's easy to make and full of flavor!

Garlic Bread Butter Blend


Okay, yes, I know. It's only garlic bread.

Melt some butter, brush it on some bread, sprinkle a little garlic powder on top, pop it in the oven and you're done. True.

But, this is a step up from that and it's the butter blend that I've been using for my basic garlic bread for years.

Chicken Pot Pie Soup with Pie Crust Crackers

The elements and flavors from classic chicken pot pie - chopped chicken, potatoes, peas and carrots - in a creamy base - in an easy soup, with pie crust crackers for dipping.

Chicken Pot Pie Soup


I made this soup using elements of my Chicken Pot Pie recipe as the base, but I totally stole the idea for the pie crust crackers from Food Network Magazine's {affil link} December 2012 issue.
They used a commercial, refrigerated crust, but homemade pie crusts are really so easy to whip up I decided to make one and incorporate the seasonings in the dough, rather than just on top. To shorten prep time, substitute a commercial crust, but please do make the crackers, either way. They really just make this soup perfect.

Hearty Slow Cooker Beef Stew

I've made this stew a few times over this fall and winter, but the process of measuring out, documenting and photographing a recipe, so that other folks can follow it too, can be a bit daunting at times, when all you really want to do is just sit down and eat!

Most people associate Gooey Butter Cake with Paula Deen, because it was brought to the forefront of everybody's attention and became famously associated with the Queen Deen, who added a multitude of variations to it.

Basic Egg Salad

Some of you will think it's downright silly to have a "recipe" for egg salad, but believe it or not, I get asked all the time how I make mine, and folks land on my other egg salads all the time from Google, looking specifically for an egg salad recipe. I guess they are just looking for approximate measurements, or just curious to see what other folks do. Makes sense to me!

Anyway, I had a craving for some egg salad and made a batch this weekend, so I finally decided to take some photos to put it up on the site. Since many of you are likely on food overload right now from all those Super Bowl eats and probably not really all that interested in any new recipes today, I thought it might be a good time to sneak in a post on the way I like to make my egg salad.

Mini Italian Sandwiches

Perfect minis for a party, these sandwiches are layered with provolone cheese, black forest ham, salami and your choice of Italian cold cuts, such as hot capolcollo or mortadella, dressed with creamy Italian dressing, lettuce, tomatoes and olives, if you like.

Now, first caveat before I get lectured, this is not intended to be any kind of authentic Italian sub or hoagie. There was a pizza joint near my Biloxi apartment many many years ago, and I was addicted to one of their menu sandwiches, called the Mona Lisa.

Like a muffuletta, I could get one of those and eat on it for days.

Ham and Bean Soup

Ham and bean soup, made with a ham hock or ham bone stock, a mixture of veggies and Navy pea beans.

Ham and Bean Soup


The soup photos I ended up with for my post don't really give justice to the beauty of this soup, and of course, the soup was long gone before I uploaded the shots I took. I can assure you of one thing though. This soup is divinely delicious! It was gone in no time at our house and I was left with that wish I had more feeling.

Buffalo Chicken Mac and Cheese


I love macaroni and cheese in just about any form you can make it.

My favorite, hands down, and one of the most popular recipes on my site from day one, is the 'overly decadent but so totally delicious it's worth making,' special occasion mac and cheese.

More Favorite Soups for National Soup Month

A second collection of great soup recipes for National Soup Month from Deep South Dish.
January is National Soup Month, though around here it's been more like grilling weather than soup weather. Day before yesterday it was 76 degrees and as humid as a summer day. Ah well, 'tis the nature of the southern seasons, especially here in the coastal Deep South, though every once in awhile Mama Nature throws us a bone to remind us that we really do have short blasts of winter in The South.

I've previously shared with you ten of my favorite soups for National Soup Month and seems the collection has grown a bit since, so I've updated my list with this fresh rewind of soup recipes, that didn't make the first round-up.
