I've been making tons of hamburgers lately. I think I've used 4 lbs of ground beef on hamburgers alone.
I also made short ribs. I don't recall the exact recipe any longer. It was similar to this, but made without using a pressure cooker. They were decent. The leftovers got to salty sitting in the sauce for a few days.
