Cheap Recipes That Are So-o-o-o Good!
Here's a cheap recipe I think you will really like. We call it Hamburger Pie. The ingredients are what makes this such a cheap recipe. Hamburger Potatoes Peas Tomato Soup Pre-heat oven to 425 degrees. In a baking pan about 11" x 11" or so, pour in 2 cans of tomato soup and a can of peas (strain first). Mix well. Cook potatoes - we usually use about 5 medium potatoes. Brown about a pound of hamburger. Drain, then mix it in with the soup and peas. When the potatoes are done, mash them. I like to add about a half stick of butter and about 1/4 cup of milk. Spread the mashed potatoes on top of the tomato soup mixture. Try to cover the entire pan. Now, turn the oven to 450 degrees and place the pan in the center. Bake for about 25 minutes. The reason to preheat, then turn the oven up? I like the browning of the mashed potatoes. This serves about 4 people, unless my husband is one of them. The you'll serve 3.
