I liked this recipe but DH has a thing about salads, they are a side dish to come before a meal, not eaten as a meal! So I let him eat his on the leftover buns. He said it reminded him of a manwich.

I have leftovers for lunch today too
:love: I made it with almost 2 lbs of ground turkey to make it a little more substantial, and we all agreed that less ground meat would not have been enough and more would have been fine too.

Also, I prepped the ground beef in bulk, adding garlic and onions for the power cooking. I drained the beef in the large colander with the matching bowl underneath it. I cooked the beef in a 12 inch stainless skillet. (easy to lift and pour into the colander) Then I drained the grease out of the bowl into a zip lock and pitched it. I used one portion of the meat for the salad, made tacos and chili out of the rest. I spooned two cups of the meat into each zip lock for the other recipes.
