Meat with Potatoes

This recipe is from Stephanie at Happily Ever After.  This dish combines meat with any kind of veggies that you like.  It was really easy to put together and was very tasty.  I felt like it was a pretty decent meal health wise also because of all of the veggies I put in it!

Meat with Potatoes

Hamburger (1-2 lb., depending on your crowd)

Green Pepper (1-2)

Green Beans (I used one bag of frozen green beans)

Onion (1)

Celery (1 C)

Potatoes (1-2, washed and sliced)

1 8oz. can of Tomato Soup

1 pkg. of Lipton Onion Soup Mix

1 C of water

Pre-heat oven to 350 degrees.  Form meatballs from the hamburger, put on bottom of 9x13 pan.  Cut up fresh veggies and layer on top of meatballs, ending with the potatoes on top.

Mix tomato soup and onion soup mix together with water.  Pour over top of veggies and hamburger.  Cover with foil, bake for 1-1.5 hours (depends on your oven and how much hamburger you use).

This is a great, flavorful dish that is perfect on a cold winter night!  The soup mixture makes a thick sauce that gives everything a wonderful taste.  It's so simple and yummy and that's the beauty of it.  Plus, you can tweak it with the ingredients you have on hand or the ones you prefer.  I've made it several ways, depending on whether or not I feel like grocery shopping!

**Notes: I used 1 lb meat, added carrots, and left out the celery and pepper because I didn't have any.  You could use whatever veggies you have and have as much or little meat as possible.


The funny thing about this recipe is when Stephanie posted it she mentioned that if you were reading all of her posts about food you would think she was pregnant because that's what her posts were like when she was pregnant with their almost 1 year old, Ava.  She said that she was not pregnant but they found out a few weeks ago that she is! So if you get a chance drop by and wish them congratulations!
