Revdeath's Sloppy Joes

Okay, this sandwich is not too keyboard friendly, but is delicious, quick, and easy to make. Seriously, you'll probably ingest it so fast (it's that good) that the messiness will not matter much.



What you need:
1 lb. Ground Beef
1/2 cup chopped Onion
1/2 cup chopped Green Bell Pepper
1 teaspoon Garlic Powder
1 1/2 teaspoons Yellow Mustard
3/4 cup Ketchup
3 teaspoons Brown Sugar
salt and pepper
3 tablespoons Worcestershire Sauce
1-2 Slices of Cheese (Havarti, Swiss, Provolone, and Mozzarella work best)

Step 1. Brown the beef with the onions and bell pepper. This will take about 5-10 minutes depending on how much you're making. You don't have to watch it too carefully, but you should break up the clumps, and flip the meat to fully cook it.

Step 2. Drain the fat from the pan, and stir in the remaining ingredients.

Step 3. Let this simmer on low heat for 30 minutes.

Serve on rolls or hamburger buns with your choice of cheese.

FTW Lasagna

This is one of the simplest lasagna recipes in all of the lands. Whether you're elite at cooking, or just a noob starting off, it will work for everyone.

Couple notes: You will need an oven safe dish, and it should be around the 13x9 size. All of the prep you will need to really do is brown the ground beef (fresh, or thawed of course). You don't even have to cook the noodles first; making this recipe totally FTW!

The prep will take 8-15 minutes depending on how speedy you are in the kitchen. The bake is for an hour (45 minutes under foil, 15 minutes uncovered).

Mats:
1 lb ground beef (fresh or thawed)
1 egg. beaten
3 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
1 container of Ricotta cheese
1/2 cup Parmesan Cheese
1 jar spaghetti sauce.
1 cup water
1 box of lasagna noodles

Step 1: Start off by preheating your oven to 350 degrees. Then you will brown your ground beef in a skillet.

Step 2: While you're browning the beef, mix your egg and 1-1/4 cups of your mozzarella cheese, the Ricotta cheese and about 1/4 cup of your Parmesan cheese. Blend these all together, and then set them aside. You should have extra Mozzarella and Parmesan that will be used (Step 7) to cover the top of the lasagna.

Step 3: At this point your ground beef should be about done. When it's finished, drain the as much of the grease out of the meat as possible. Then return the meat to your skillet.

Step 4: Stir in the sauce. If you used a jar of sauce don't throw it out just yet! Instead, add the 1 cup of water to the empty jar, close the jar give it a good shake. Then add this to the meat mixture. If you chose to make your own Nubsauce, be sure to still add this cup of water to your mixture. This is what will be cooking your noodles.

Step 5: spread 1 cup of your sauce onto the bottom of the oven-safe dish. Top this with 3 uncooked noodles. Then layer the noodles with the cheese mixture you made. Finally, top the mixture with your ground beef sauce. Repeat this process for 2 more layers.

**Noodles-cheese mixture- meat sauce.** This is going to be your rotation. =)

Step 6. After you have finished doing Step 5 three times, you're going to finish by adding 3 more noodles, and the meat sauce to your lasagna.

Step 7. Take the remainder of the Mozzeralla and Parmesan cheeses that you divided and sprinkle them on top of everything.

Step 8. Cover with foil, and Bake for 45 minutes. After 45 minutes, you will want to remove the foil, and put the lasagna back in the oven for another 15 minutes to make the cheese bubbly.

After that 15 minutes you'll have yourself one tasty lasagna.

North American Goulash

This is a twist on the elbow macaroni goulashes that are often included in cookbooks. Not only is it a great way to use up left over ground beef (or cubes), it is so easy to make. True this is not a Hungarian stew, but it is sure to please. :)



What you need:
1-1.5 lbs of cooked ground beef (or cubes); seasoned with salt, pepper, parsley, onion flakes, and basil.
1 box of Rotini noodles
2 cans of Italian style, diced tomatoes
1 can of tomato sauce (for seasoning, try the Nubsauce recipe)

Top with some Parmesan and/or Mozzarella Cheese

Step 1. Cook your noodles, and brown your seasoned ground beef.

Step 2. Add the canned tomatoes to the drained noodles.

Step 3. Add your Nubsauce to the cooked beef. Let this simmer, covered and on low heat for about 15 minutes.

Step 4. Mix the Beefy Nubsauce to the noodles and tomatoes.



Presto! A delicious meal for 4-6 people.

Nesingwary Stromboli

Okay, I figured that we had to come up with a recipe to use all the animals from the Nesingwary quest chains. I mean really, I cannot even count how many creatures I've killed for those guys on all my toons.

I must say that they sure are tasty as a Stromboli!



This Stromboli was made by a friend, and was delicious.

What you need:
6-8 slices of Ham (Black Forest Ham tastes awesome in this.)
10 slices of Salami
6 Slices of Provolone
1/2-1 lb Seasoned and browned ground beef (Season it like you would a meatball.)
Spicy Brown Mustard
**Optional: A little Parmesan Cheese and/or Mozzarella to top Stromboli
Pizza dough (homemade or store bought)

Dipping Sauce: A thick tomato sauce goes great with this!

Step 1. Season and brown your ground beef. This will take about 15 minutes on medium heat. Just stir to flip the meat occasionally.

Step 2. Preheat the oven to 350, and roll out your dough. Smear a little mustard on the surface. Leave about an inch of space from the edges, so that it doesn't squish out.

Step 3. Line with your meats. Check the image at the top of this entry if you're confused.

Step 3. Add the cooked ground beef.

Step 4. Roll your Stromboli. Think of a jelly roll, replicate this idea. Pinch the edges together. Brush with a little olive oil, and add the cheese topping.

Step 5. In an oven-safe pan, bake at 350 for approximately 25-35 minutes. When the Stromboli crust is nice and golden brown, it is finished.

Let cool for about 5 minutes before slicing.

Tacos, Tacos, Tacos!!!

Tacos are an easy meal to make, and if you make them yourself they taste about 1,000 times better than Taco Bell. Seriously, they are delicious.



The recipe below is for the entire box of shells. So if it is just you, you should make less.

What you need:
1-1/2 lbs of ground beef (80/20), browned
1 small to medium slicing tomato, chopped
1 small to medium onion
A few pieces of lettuce, cut into strips
Cheddar Cheese, shredded (to top)
1 package of taco shells (I like the standing ones you can now get. It makes them a lot easier to fill.)
1 large deep, oven-safe dish

Seasoning: You can either use a packet of taco seasoning, or season them yourself with Cumin, Chili Powder, Garlic Powder, and a little salt pepper, all to taste. For a little extra yumminess, add in a little chopped, fresh cilantro.

Step 1. Brown your ground beef in a large pan on medium. Make sure to break up the large pieces, and flip them to brown all sides. This will take 5-10 minutes. You don't have to watch it like a hawk, but don't leave it alone too long.

Step 2. Pre-heat the oven to broil. Drain the meat when it is all browned. Add your seasoning and a little bit of water. Stir to coat the meat in your seasoning. Let this cook on low for a few minutes.

Step 3. Place the shells in rows in your oven safe dish (lined with foil for easier cleaning). In the shells, place a thin layer of lettuce, then some cooked and seasoned meat. Add on the onions, tomatoes, and if you'd like a few slices of black olives, or some jalapeno bits. Finally, coat with some cheese.

Step 4. Broil until the cheese melts (about 2 minutes).

Now that's some tasty tacos!
