In a cooking rut? Try one of these taste-tested, family-approved recipes using ground beef.

A cheap meal popular with college students. It simply consists of warm beans, cheese, and bacon piled on top of slice of bread.

1 slice bread
1 slice American cheese
2 tablespoons canned beans (kidney beans work well, but pick your favorite)
2 slices bacon
Toast as many slices of bread as to go around for those who will eat.
Put slices of cheap American cheese on each piece of bread. Open a can of beans and spread a spoonful or two on top of the cheese. Now, put slices of bacon on top of the beans.
Put the whole mess on top of a piece of aluminum foil and broil it in the oven until bacon is cooked and cheese is melted. Serve hot.
