I think we must have about 80 pounds of ground beef in our freezer (and countless pounds of other cuts). This last Fall, we purchased half a cow from a 4-H and FFA auction. We liked the idea of supporting a local kid who was raising good food the right way.
Having what seems to be a never ending supply of ground beef has given me a challenge to come up with different uses for it. As much as I love a good burger, I need some variety.
Beef and Sweets Stuffed Portobello Mushrooms

- 1 med sweet potato shredded
- 1/2 large onion diced
- 1 clove garlic minced

- Bake for 15 - 18 minutes,or until the mushrooms have softened, and the meat mixture has browned on top.
Notes
If you don't happen to have 80 pounds of ground beef in your freezer, ground pork or turkey would also work well.
I made jalapeno burgers with sweet potatoe cakes for “buns” but I only had 1 # of beef to try to figure out! this looks delish, ill have to give it a try!
Those burgers sound great!
This sounds wonderful! Need to get to the store for ground meat and give it a try!
Let me know how it turns out!
