This recipe was given to me at my bridal shower by Mel's Aunt Sarah Stone.

Brown 1 lb.of lean hamburger and chopped onion (1/2 of an onion). Drain off excess fat and liquid. Add 1 package of brown gravy mix and 1 cup water to meat. Stir well till blended and cook over medium heat until thickened, about 20 minutes. Turn off burner and let sit for about 5 minutes. Then add 1 small box of sour cream and blend in well.

Serve over Chinese noodles and soy sauce.

Seven Layer Casserole

What would I do without all of Nonnies recipes! My mom and her have provided me with the best recipes! This is another Nonnie favorite.

Layer the following ingredients in 9 x 13 pan

1 cup long grain rice
1 can whole corn (drained)
1 small onion diced
1 green pepper diced
1 can tomato sauce
1 can water
hamburger (1-2 lbs)
salt and pepper
Pour enough water to come up to hamburger. Put 3 strips of bacon on top. Cover with foil. Cook 1 hour at 350°. Remove cover and cook about 20 min or until water cooks down.

Hamburger Veggie Soup

This soup recipe I wrote down as I watched Nonnie make it one day. She said she didn’t use a recipe so I just wrote down what she put in as I watched her make it. It’s my favorite soup!!
1 large can V8 juice + 2 12 oz cans
1 large can water
Swanson's chicken broth
Swanson's beef broth
1 can water
3 stocks celery cut small
3 zucchini cut into small bites
3 carrots cut small
1 large and 1 small can green beans
1 1/2 cans corn (drained)
2 cans carrots
broccoli (flowers only) about 1/2 cup
1can stewed tomatoes (I buy the petite cut tomatoes)
3/4 cup barley (sometimes I add this and sometimes I don't)
salt and pepper

Brown 1 small minced onion, garlic cloves and 2 lbs hamburger.

I vary this recipe. I like to make a large amount and I don't like to buy the 2 smaller cans of V8 and the small can green beans...so I usually buy 2 large cans of V8 and I use 2 cans of green beans, 2 cans of corn (why throw half a can away?) and I don't use the canned carrots....I just use more than 3 fresh cut carrots. I use more veggies....like more than 1/2 cup broccoli! I also sometimes add yellow squash, cut into small bite size pieces. I use a very large stock pot!
Sometimes I use 2 pots and divide the soup into the 2 pots and make one just a veggie soup and add the hamburger to the other to make the hamburger veggie soup.


Taco Salad

Another Nonnie favorite recipe!

2 lb hamburger
1 can kidney beans (drained)
1 lb. grated cheddar cheese

1 head lettuce (3 romaine)
2 large cucumber
3 green onions- diced small
3 large tomatoes
3 Radishes- diced small 
2-3 avocados diced 

1 bag of Doritos

Make a green salad - set aside. Brown hamburger and drain. Add kidney beans and warm. Crunch Doritos on top of salad; then grated cheese and then hamburger and kidney beans. Let set for a few minutes for cheese to melt. Mix 1 cup mayonnaise and a few squirts of ketchup to make dressing and pour on top of salad and mix well.

Can use salsa and sour cream for toppings. (Or add more chips!)

Lazy Daisy Meatballs
