Cowboy Delight

Sorry for my absence on Wednesday. I just didn't want to get on the computer at all! I'll do an extra post to make up for it sometime soon! I find myself today without kids for 5 hours so I'm going to be putting a lot of my time into creating things to share here! I am so excited you have no idea! Thanks to in-laws and a husband willing to take the kids at his place of work on campus. (It was his idea even!) Here's to a productive day!
So here is some food for Friday.


Cowboy Delight

What ya need:
1 lb Ground hamburger
2 cans cream of mushroom soup
2 cans tomato Soup
1 tsp celery salt
1 tsp chilli powder
2 cups cooked macaroni

What ya do:

Brown hamburger. Add all other ingredients cook at simmer for about 20-25 minutes. Serve.

Yum, all the kids in our family love it, including cousins! FYI-You can half this recipe. The amount written can feed about 8 people with some left over I think... We always make a full batch since it is good leftovers so that's why I'm unsure.

Autumn Soup

I wanted to share some of the recipes that my family uses on a monthly basis. I am NOT a cook. I only do it out of necessity. With saying that all these things I can make and most of the time they taste the same as they did as my mom's house. So first up is a super easy one!

Autumn Soup

What you need:
1 lb ground beef
1/2 cup diced onion
1 cup sliced carrots
1 cup sliced celery (optional)
1 cup cubed potatoes
4 cups water
2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp black pepper
1 bay leaf
1 qt of bottle tomatoes (yeah for food storage!)

What to do:
Brown beef and onion together in pan, drain fat. Add remainder of ingredients EXCEPT Tomatoes and simmer 20 minutes stir occasionally. Add tomatoes and cook 10 minutes or until vegetables are soft. Remember to remove bay leaf!


That's it. An easy soup to do on a cold day or when your sick, and sick of chicken noodle soup. What I like about this soup is, because of the bay leaf, it makes the broth a little sweet.

Have a great weekend!
