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

Hollandaise from scratch requires making a custard-like sauce, usually in the top of a double-boiler. This version gives you the same great lemony flavor without all the work.

1 cup sour cream, regular or light
2 tablespoons butter
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
1/2 teaspoon salt, optional
Stir together the sour cream, butter, lemon juice, and salt in a microwave-safe bowl.
Cook on high heat for 1 minute at a time, stirring between each increment, until hot.

It may look like a sad little package shoved in the back of your freezer, but frozen spinach actually has a lot of culinary uses (and some may surprise you).
Pumpkins aren't just for pies or Halloween decorations. These large, orange gourds - while naturally sweet - also work well in savory dishes. They pair well with poultry and pork (and especially bacon) and their creamy-when-cooked texture blends easily into soups.

Not a bad sauce but didn't taste enough like hollandaise really. I will probably use it again because it had a nice texture and was simple in the micro, but wouldn't use it in place of hollandaise maybe.

Not a bad substitute if you are counting calories. Used fat free sour cream. Wasn't exactly like hollandaise but served its purpose and went well with the faux eggs benedict I made
