Here are two very different options for using a pound of ground beef.

Potatoburgers

1 pound ground beef

1 cup chopped or coarsely grated raw potato

14 cup chopped or grated onion

3 tablespoons chopped green pepper

1 teaspoon salt

1 large egg

1 tablespoon canola oil

112 cups tomato juice or puree

1 rounded tablespoon flour

Mix all ingredients except oil, tomato juice and flour.

Form into 5 or 6 flat cakes. Brown the cakes on both sides in oil in a frying pan. Add tomato juice, cover, and simmer slowly until done, about 25 minutes.

Remove cakes and keep them hot. Mix flour with a little water and stir slowly into the liquid in the pan. Cook until thickened, stirring occasionally. Serve this sauce with the cakes.
