My go-to on days like this was always, sloppy Joe's. I don't have buns, I'm not driving today, due to meds.
So I looked through pantry, I was planning on Shepards pie , when it turns cold again in 2 days. Taters already done, and in fridge, and my mind says, " sloppy Joe Shepards pie"
Back in the 70s, we always put our sloppy, over potatoes, it's how Mom and Dad, saved money.
Think I might try it, what could go wrong?

1. My mother used to make hamburger gravy over mashed potatoes for dinner. Delicious. Served at school lunch too.

2. Agreed

My mother, made burgers, on a cookie sheet, in oven. Any gravy, was out of her league.
I was just gonna, layer it all in a baking dish and bake, like a shepards pie, nice cheddar crust on top, only 1 pan to wash as leftovers will feed me for lunch, rest of week.
I'll let ya know how it turns out

3. My FIL would brown hamburger and roll it up in some bisquick dough

cut it into rounds and bake. Make up a packet of gravy and serve the gravy over the rounds with a side of veggies (usually peas or broccoli).

I've done a hamburger stew over mashed potatoes. It was quick and really tasty. The stew was hamburger, some gravy, a few dashes of Worcestershire sauce and a bag of mixed veggies.

4. My grammer school in VA used to make those ground beef rolls. They were called

chuckwagon rolls. Can't remember if there was gravy.

5. Sloppy Joe shepherds pie sounds fine

If you've got any appropriate frozen veg around, add them too and don't have it too soupy. Not sliceable, but easily scoopable. The cheddar on top of mashed potatoes is a great finish! One pan, complete meal, stores and reheats nicely. What could be bad?

6. Sountds good to me

I sometimes put leftover chili on baked potatoes, and your suggestion isn't that different. In fact, I might make something similar soon - thanks for the inspiration!

7. I did add

A bag of peas and carrots, think I have, a new favorite meal!
