Monday Menu's

Posted on Monday, September 18, 2006 at 03:19

I will be trying to post a tried and true recipe every Monday. Today's recipe is super simple...

Cheesy Beef Casserole

1. 1 can cream of mushroom soup
2. 1 can herbed tomato or zesty tomato soup
3. 1 can mushrooms
4. Ground Beef
5. Pasta
6. Grated cheese - your choice

Basically you brown the ground beef and cook the pasta. Mix everything together including the cheese in a casserole dish and bake with some extra cheese on top. Serve with salad and garlic bread or dinner rolls.

My whole family loves this meal... there are never any leftovers!

Today's Journal Prompt

I think that just about everyone has that one favorite meal that can immediatly transport them back in time to when they were a kid. Maybe its something that you mom made or a special meal served by your grandmother. What special meal transports you back in time? How does it make you feel? Do you serve it to your family? Why doesn't it ever taste as good as your moms?!?

Have fun with this! Maybe now is a good time to start a family recipe book to pass down to your children on the day that they leave home or get married. Its never to early to start compiling those recipes and putting them in a notebook for your children and everyone wants that one recipe book filled with recipes that are sure to be winners with their own family! 

I love to try new recipes...

especially mince ones as mince (ground beef) is so cheap over here. The problem is hubby hates mushrooms (one in every family...lol!) so I might use ground chicken mince, 1 can cream chicken soup & add one can of chick peas instead. I also love experimenting also - BIG GRIN... could even serve it with rice - ok I've gone off on my own tangent now....
thanks for the idea.
