    Mom’s Meatloaf
    * 1 lb. ground turkey
    * 1 lb ground beef
    * 1 lb. ground venison
    --------------------------

    Tator tot casserole
    * 1 pound ground beef
    ---------------------------

    GERMAN SKILLET DINNER
    * 1 lb. lean ground beef
    ---------------------------

    Sheppard's Pie
    * 1lb ground beef
    * Brown ground beef and season with salt & pepper & garlic powder & onion powder.
    * When completely cooked ???? AND DRAINED or keep juices????
    -------------------------------------------------------------
    So the Dumm Question for today is:

    When some form or Raw Meat is specified, is it "assumed" that da Cook will
    PRE-Cook ("Brown")
    and then DRAIN said raw meat before tossing in with the other "stuff" -
    (thereby reducing the grease & fat in the dish) -
    OR is it supposed to go in raw, uncooked, and juice capable??

    My Hamburger HELPER boxes all TELL me to Pre-Cook & DRAIN the Hamburgler.

    i always drain

    anytime i use ground meat, i drain the juices, unless i keep 1-2 tablespoons to saute (cook till soft and translucent, not mushy) onions or garlic. fattier cuts of meat are juicier then non fatty meats, ground pork is juicier then ground turkey for example, and draining the meat will reduce calories. i drain the cooked meat thru a collander onto a few sheets of newspaper laying in an old piepan. i then pitch the newspaper i the trash so wonder mutt doesn't tear the paper up and the grease doesn't clog my drain. hope this helps

    No, no, for the meatloaf do not cook the meat ahead of time. Just dump all the ingredients, raw, into the bowl, and mix, then bake.

    The others specify when to brown (a.k.a. cook) the meat.

    Depends on the amout of grease. If it is extra lean or good lean beef you shouldn't have to drain it. We always use extra lean and there is barely enough fat to cook the meat without it sticking so it isn't necessary. Use your judgement. If you can pour the fat off then drain it. If there is not fat then not.
