Calling all foodies!

I need your recipe and food ideas.  We're feeling the economic pinch just as much as everyone else which means I'm digging through our freezer trying to use up the food in there rather than buy something else.  We currently have a lot of frozen steak and hamburger right now.  Which we're grilling regularly, but what else can I do with them?  Obviously I have more ideas of what to do with hamburger than I do with the steak, but I will take any suggestions you might have for either so that we don't get tired of the same meals and we can continue to attempt to go through our freezer and use everything up before it goes bad.  

So here's what I have off the top of my head for both.  You contribute what you can.  If you don't have a recipe, but you know of a meal that uses one or the other and you love it, just let me know.  I'll look online for the recipe.  I'm just needing a jumping off point with this.

Steak:
grilled steak (hah)
steak fajitas
steak quesadillas (can you tell I live in Texas and eat Tex Mex?)
??? I don't know what else to do with the steak

Hamburger:
grilled hamburgers (double hah)
spaghetti
tacos
??? I'm drawing a blank now, so apparently I don't have more ideas for the hamburger than I do for the steak.

And for those wondering why we have such an abundance of these, we have had those meat guys come to our neighborhood selling meat at a deep discount and also throwing some in for free when we buy from them.  We've only done this twice and didn't get a large amount, but there's more than enough steak and hamburger in our freezer to get us by the next few weeks/months. 

So now I turn to you for your meal and recipe ideas.
