Susie's Hamburger Pie Casserole


 

 

  A simple casserole - named after my best friend Susie who passed away at the age of 50. She gave me this recipe. 


1lb ground beef

1 can tomato soup

1 can green beans

mashed potatoes

onion and green pepper

cheese

green onions 

 peel enough potatoes to put on top of the meat mixture and start boiling.

Fry up the ground beef, add the onions, garlic and green pepper

add the green beans

add the tomato soup

Add a tbsp or two of Worcestershire sauce

I add Italian herbs, and some red pepper flakes 


 
 
 Heat it all up together and keep warm. Meanwhile peel and cook potatoes as you would for your mashed potatoes. Some people use instant potatoes. I mash them, add milk and garlic. (I love garlic)
 
 
 
 
just before I put it in the oven
 
 
 I use a casserole pan because I double the recipe for my big eaters - but back when mine were younger and when I was a single mom, I would make it all up in my black iron skillet, and then top it with the mashed potatoes, add the cheese and stick it in a 350 oven for about 15-20 minutes.
 
 
 I add some chopped green onions too. or you could add the green onions to the mashed potatoes.

Day 7 - Amish Friendship Bread - Do nothing

    Amish friendship bread or cake is your basic sweetened quick-bread. What makes it unique is the cup of starter you add to the batter, which adds leavening and a bit of sourdough tang to the final bread. This starter has (theoretically) been handed down through the generations from the Amish themselves. If followed exactly, each recipe makes enough starter for several loaves. You're then supposed to share this excess starter amongst your friends and thus continue propagating the recipe.
