Recipe: Hobo Dinner

by Molly Jo Realy @MollyJoRealy

Who doesn’t love a good meat-and-potatoes dish? Here’s a great recipe my mom handed down. Quick, easy, delicious… and smells so good when cooking!

INGREDIENTS:

1 lb. ground beef, make into four patties
1 medium onion, sliced
2 or 3 medium potatoes, peeled and quartered/sliced thick
1 can Cream of Mushroom soup

In the center of a large square of heavy duty cooking foil, place hamburger patty. Top with onion slice, potato, and approx. 1/4 can of soup. Salt and pepper each layer to taste. Wrap tightly.

Repeat for patties 2 – 4.

Place on cookie sheet or in cake pan. Bake at 350 for 1 hour. Remove from oven. Be careful upon opening as packets will be very hot and steamy.

Recipe: Goulash

by Molly Jo Realy @MollyJoRealy

This is an old family recipe. I don’t remember not eating this as a kid. The great part is, my daughter loves it now, too. The first time I made it, she went back for seconds… and thirds. Now that’s saying something!

INGREDIENTS:

1 to 1.25 lb. ground beef
1 medium onion, chopped
8 to 12 oz. macaroni or pasta shells, cooked
1 can tomato soup
1 can vegetable soup

On stove top, cook the pasta. Separately, brown the ground beef and onion. Add both soups to meat, mix in cooked pasta. Can thin with a little water, tomato juice, or tomato sauce if desired.

See? Quick, easy, nutritious, hearty. All great things for an autumn dinner.
