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

No maple syrup for these waffles. Belgian-style means flat, crispy gaufrettes that are more like cookies than fluffy, butter-topped breakfast waffles--cinnamon, butter, and rum make them crazy tasty.

4 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
2 teaspoons baking powder
3/4 pound butter, softened
4 eggs
2 tablespoons rum
Sift the flour, sugar, cinnamon, and baking powder together into a bowl. Make a well in the center of the flour mixture.
Add the butter, eggs, and rum in the center of the well. Slowly mix the ingredients until blended. Let the mixture stand at room temperature for 2 hours, uncovered.
Heat and grease a gaufrette waffle iron (or regular waffle iron) as directed by the manufacturer.
Remove bits of dough about the size of 2 tablespoons. Form the dough into a ball and place it in the gaufrette iron. Cook as directed by the manufacturer, or until the cookie is browned.
Repeat with the remaining dough.
Store the gaufrette cookie waffles in an airtight container at room temperature.

A can of cream of mushroom soup can be a real dinner saver. It works great in casseroles and can turn into a sauce or gravy in a pinch.
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.
