Hamburger Casserole

HAMBURGER CASSEROLE

What we need: 3 Potatoes, about 2 cups Carrots, Pkg. of frozen Peas, Celery, 1 lb hamburger browned with one diced onion, 2 cans Cream of Mushroom Soup.

Directions: Slice potatoes and place at the bottom of casserole dish. Slice carrots and place on top of potatoes. Pour enough peas to cover the carrots. slice celery and pour over peas. cover with one can Cream of Mushroom. Layer in the beef and onion. Top with one more can Cream of Mushroom. Pour half can of water over the entire casserole. Bake 1 1/2 - 2 hrs. @ 400* or in crock pot all day.
I took the pictures of the dish before it's cooked. It isn't that pretty to look at when it comes out of the oven, but it does taste really good.

Recipe: BYU 139th Ward Cookbook

Note: I don't use the onion or celery, because if I did, my husband wouldn't eat it. So I usually thrown in some onion powder to give it a little flavor.

Recipe: We Gotta Eat


I did the dinner in the crock-pot on low for 4 hrs. It was yummy. I know it isn't the most attractive dinner, but it is really good. I decided to do it in the crock \-pot because it being summer and all, I didn't what the oven to heat up the house.
I love to make this when camping. In the past for camping, I just put the meat, veggies, salt and pepper in the foil, cook over the fire and then add ketchup when eating. Also, amazing.

Macho Nachos

MACHO NACHOS

My parents used to always make us these nachos. But my sister-in-law has recently brought them back into our life.


What we need: Velveeta, Salsa, Milk, Ground Beef (browned and seasoned with taco seasoning), and what ever topings you choose (I use olives and tomatos)

Directions: Melt velveeta with a small amount of milk and some salsa (becareful not to burn the cheese). Spread chips on your plate, drizzle cheese over top, and top as desired, and enjoy!
