im a lurker too,but I have a bunch of meat recipes for you. Im a red meat lover and I get really tired of chicken
This recipe is easy for the winter since the summer grilling season is over (at least in NY). I usually just use a regular london broil for the recipe and then serve it over egg noodles.

Also beef stew is good too this time of year. The recipe says to cook over night, no need. You can mix ingredients the night before or that morning and then cook on low 8-10 hours.

Another one-Super easy Pot Roast
Decent size rump roast
1 can coke/pepsi
1 package onion soup mix.
Put in crockpot and cook 8-9 hours on low. DELICIOUS. You can also through some carrots in here too for veggies.
Here is a noncrockpot/pasta one! This is a huge hit in our house.
Creamy Taco Mac
Ingredients:
1¼ lbs. ground beef
8 oz. dry pasta shapes
1 small onion, chopped
1 clove garlic, minced
1 (14 oz.) can diced tomatoes, drained
4 tbsp. taco seasoning
3 oz. cream cheese
½ cup sour cream
Salt and pepper
Shredded cheddar cheese (optional)
Directions:
Bring a large pot of water to boil. Cook pasta according to the package directions. Drain, reserving ½ cup of pasta water. Set aside.
Meanwhile, in a large skillet or sauté pan, cook the ground turkey over medium-high heat until no longer pink. A few minutes before the turkey is cooked through, add the chopped onion to the skillet. Once the turkey is cooked through, mix in the garlic and cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Mix in the diced tomatoes and taco seasoning and let simmer over medium heat for about 5 minutes. Stir in the cooked pasta, cream cheese, sour cream and reserved pasta water, and continue stirring until the cream cheese is melted and the sauce is well blended. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Simmer over medium-low heat 3-5 minutes to reduce the sauce a bit. Remove from the heat and top with shredded cheddar cheese, if desired.
Hope this helps!!! GL
