Mulligan Stew

This is a super simple, yet delicious and fast meal.  It's so easy I sometimes dismiss it as a possibility, thinking I want to make something more difficult, and therefore just recently made it for the first time for my hubby.  And now I'm not allowed to dismiss it anymore- he loved it, and your family will too!

Mulligan Stew
1  pound pkg. ground beef (or ground turkey, which is what I use)
1  medium onion, chopped
1  can pork & beans
2-3 Tablespoons ketchup
A couple of dashes of Worcestershire
2  teaspoons brown sugar
1-2 Tablespoons mustard

DIRECTIONS:  Brown the hamburger with the onion.

Drain and add the pork & beans.

Stir in the ketchup, brown sugar, mustard, and Worcestershire to the meat mixture.

Cook for 15 minutes on low. Serve with a salad and bread and butter.

 I like extra mustard on mine:)

Taco Dip

This can be used as an appetizer, but we often have it as a main course when I'm too busy (or too lazy) to make a full meal.


Taco Dip
1 can refried beans
1lb ground beef (can substitute turkey)
1 package taco seasoning
1 can sliced olives
1/2 jar salsa
1/2 large tub of sour cream
Lots of shredded cheese
Serve with tortilla chips

Brown ground beef (I use turkey), then add taco seasoning and simmer.




Layer ingredients, starting with refried beans.





Followed by taco simmered ground beef yumminess.


Add some olives.



Spread the salsa.



Don't skimp with the sour cream!


Add the cheese, please.

Refrigerate for about 30 minutes before serving- if you can wait that long.

This is our family "comfort" food. So good!

Marchetti

1 Can tomato soup
1 Can cream of mushroom soup
