Also, I know the picture looks like a pile of mush, and it's a little bit hillbilly....(I am not ashamed! :) But I am telling you those are the best dishes!!
Ingredients: 1 1/2 - 2 lbs. ground beef
4 slices bacon, uncooked
2-3 cans of vegetarian vegetable soup
1 onion, chopped
Potatoes (5 lb bag)
Cheese for the potatoes (optional) *
Ketchup (for dipping, of course!)
Ok, so first just spread the beef out into an ungreased 9x13 pan. Cook it at 325 for about 15-20 minutes or until it's cooked pretty much all the way through.
While that is going, make your mashed potatoes. For people that don't know how to make potatoes.......cut the skin off the potatoes and chop them into chunks and boil them in water until soft. Then drain. Then, add about 1 stick of butter and a little milk until you get the right consistency while blending with a blender. Then, if you want add some cheese to it for cheesy potatoes. (If I have it in the house I do....if not I don't.) I actually had some onion and chive cream cheese I threw in there with some shredded cheese I had. Whatever you feel like.
So after the meat is done, drain the grease from it and put 4 pieces of raw bacon on top. Then, put the cans of veggie soup, then the chopped onion, and finally the mashed potatoes. Bump the oven up to 350 and cook for about 15 minutes or so, or until the mashed potatoes get a little crisp at the peaks.
When it's done make sure to take the bacon out. My family always gave the bacon to the dogs....a nice little treat! :) My Uncle even used to have a dog named MINDY, (true story) I always joke with my mom about that too, because the dog was there BEFORE me......(thanks for naming me after a dog mom! haha....she was a good dog!)
ENJOY! (Don't forget to dip in ketchup! )
SERVINGS: A FAMILY :)
