Get a box of Bisquick baking mix - it has lots of recipies on the back and some always include hamburger. It's quick and easy and usually really good.
I make Spanish rice with hamburger and it is a main dish. Brown hamb and onion (and green pepper if you like). Then add whatever Mexican seasonings that you like - red pepper, cumin, jalapeno, salsa, green chiles, whatever (you can also add a can of Rotel). Add a can of tomato sauce and then 1/2 cup or 1 cup of minute rice (depending on how "ricey" you like it). Add some water (match the amount of rice with the tomato sauce and water - if 1 cup of rice, then 1 cup of combo tomato sauce/water) and simmer on low till the rice is softened and moisture is absorbed. Stir occasionally and add more water, if needed.
