I have hamburger, fingerling sweet potatoes, red potatoes, onion, macaroni and spaghetti noodles

I'm trying to use all the meat in my freezer before I go shopping again. Unfortunately, I'm down to some white fish and three 1-lb packages of ground beef. We're sick of regular spaghetti and don't want fish. Can I make anything creative or decent out of the above ingredients?

burgers and roasted potatoes.

spaghetti pie.

Spaghetti bolognese!

I usually make a batch with 2 lbs of meat and then do 1/2 of the sauce with spaghetti, and 1/2 with lasagna the next week (freeze the sauce, it holds up well!)

I would roast the red skin potatoes (chop them up) with garlic, olive oil and salt/pepper.
Never had fingerling sweet potates but with regular ones, I boil them then serve with olive oil and kosher salt.
Personally, I don't like meat and pasta, so I wouldn't add those together. Do you have hamburger buns? Then make burgers, and chop up the onions to put in the meat.

To use up the whitefish in a fun way, make Brazilian seafood stew:

Shepherd's pie with the hamburger, red potatoes (mashed), and onion. Throw in some carrot, peas, and corn if you have them.

thanks for the ideas everyone! Shepherd pie tonight, and great ideas for the other 2 lbs. And the fish stew, thank you!

For some reason, I never think of hamburgers. I think it's because I love those big, thick pub hamburgers, and mine have never ever turned out like that. Do you have suggestions on making great hamburgers? When I have made them, I'll throw some steak seasoning, onion or onion soup mix in the burger.

I've been making burgers at home lately and it works better if I just make them thin. I just use salt, pepper, Worcester and dried onion flakes and DH and picky DS have been really happy with them. I usually sauté some mushrooms to put on mine.

Throw them all a crockpot

The key is not to overhandle them. Keep as loose as possible, handle as little as possible, and then they won't be tough.

We use buffalo meat-- leaner (healthier) but MUCH better than ground turkey. We use shallots, garlic, and tons of Worcester sauce. YUM.
