Meat Saver

Sorry it's been so long since a post from me.  While it was the me and the kid at home we ate pancakes, eggs, easy things that we love but daddy doesn't.  We had this the night he came home .  I started throwing up the next morning and Monday the rest of the family followed suit.  Meat saver didn't make us sick, but it was the last food we ate before dooms-day, so I'm not the biggest fan anymore.

After that happy introduction, here's the recipe:

Meat Saver
recipe from the Fargo Ward Cookbook

Yield: 4 servings
1.5 cups ground beef
1 medium onion, chopped
1/2 c water or potato water
salt and pepper to taste
2 c favorite vegetable
1 can cream of mushroom or cream of chicken soup
toast, rolls, or potatoes

Crumble meat and brown with diced onion.  Ad  1/2 c water or potato water.  When done, salt and pepper to taste and add vegetable.  Add soup and simmer 15 minutes.  Serve over toast, hot rolls, or potatoes.

To begin with, I never found these types of recipes very meat saving.  Just a few people down a whole pound of meat in one sitting, whereas I could add it to a casserole with other cheap ingredients and make it last much longer.  That being said, it wasn't near as bad as I was expecting it to be.  It wasn't great, but if you're in a pinch it would do just fine as a quick meal.  I'll probably remember it for a last minute meal.
