Hamburger Pie, or sometimes known as Shepard’s Pie
1 pound Ground Beef (stays in freezer)
1/2 medium onion (the only fresh thing
1 can tomato soup (long shelf life)
1 can green beans (long shelf life)
Instant mashed potatoes (long shelf life)
Whatever spices you have
preheat oven to 350
Cook onion in oil (I like to add fresh garlic)till soft, add ground beef, brown
In a 2 quart casserole dish mix beef, drained green beans and tomato soup. (This is where I throw in different spices. If I don’t have fresh garlic, this is where I add garlic powder)
Even out the top of the mixture, add 2 cups of mashed potato mixture to the top of the beef mixture. Bake for 30 minutes.
I also like to add some shredded chedder cheese to the top, just for something different - it’s what my mom used to do.
I can cook very well, but more often than not, I don’t want to take the time. So, I get one bag of salad fixings, rinse and dump in a bowl, pour on some dressing and set to chill in the fridge. Out comes the salsbury steaks in gravy, frozen in a bucket and set in the oven [ I dislike microwaves] to cook. Just before it is done, I open up a small can of vegetables and heat them up, toss in a couple of frozen rolls and within 10 minutes – I have a complete dinner. Top it off with a cold beer [ out of a glass bottle and not a can] or two and I’m happy. I’ll even have leftovers for tomorrow!
It is entitled Drunk Concoction, because of its creative roots, when in need a drunk group of men can do wonderful things.
Pure simplicity
Box Kraft Mac & Cheese
Can condensed Cream of Mushroom soup
Can Tuna
Add Noodles to water (according to proportions on box) and bring to a boil in microwave to prevent injury of drunks or innocent bystanders. (If you must you may use a stove, and collander, but this dirties dishes unnecessarily.) Strain off extra water if there is any, there shouldn’t be. Add can of soup condensed (Do not add water or milk), add dried Cheese stuff, add tuna strained. Stir until the cheese stuff is smooth and you have a tasty tuna casseroleish meal big enough for two sober or one drunk.
This dish requires the ingredients, water, one tupperare bowl, a spoon, and a microwave. Nothing else. Costs less than $2 and has a shelf life longer than sand. Try it, it really tastes good.
