“SOMETHING IN A PAN”
My mom always dubbed this one something in a pan but it is basically a homemade hamburger helper. (it just tastes 100 times better).
Ingredients:
1lb ground beef
1 pkg of egg noodles
2 cans of cream of mushroom soup
1/2 cup milk
Directions:
Brown ground beef and then drain grease. Boil egg noodles till tender. When Egg noodles are done, add them to the meat. Pour in cream of mushroom soup and milk. Stir constantly till everything is mixed and allow to simmer for about 3 minutes. Serve.
NOTE” If you have picky eaters that don’t like the mushroom taste you can substitute the cream of mushroom with cream of chicken.
