Soup recipe
This is one of our favorite easy to make soups. I didn't think I would like it when I tried it but I love it!
Taco Soup
1 can corn
2-3 cans beans- we usually use black beans, white beans, and pinto beans
1 can chili
1 can tomato sauce
1t taco seasoning (or more if you just love this stuff)
Throw it all in a crock pot for a few hours on low(or less hours on high) We love to put grated up cheese and sour cream in it. We also really love it with french bread.

More ground beef recipes
Porcupine balls
1lb hamburger
mix in-
1/4 C tomato soup
1t salt
1 slightly beaten egg
1/2 C rice
pepper
(onions are always optional to me but I figured I would mention the original recipe does call for 1 small chopped onion)
shape into balls and brow. mix the rest of soup in 1 1/2 C water. pour over meat balls & simmer for 40 min.
Our alterations: we do one pan with oats instead of rice because of food allergies- it just has a little more of a meat loaf flavor and cooks in less time. we don't do actual balls well. so we mix up the meat and cook the whole thing in the sauce, adding more sauce as needed. stir often until gr beef is brown and rice is cooked!
Meat Loaf
ground beef
1 egg
oats and ketchup to taste
cook 350-375 until middle is brown. you can add anything you like on a hamburger for variety! dill, mustard, shredded cheese, onion, whatever you like!
Hamburger roll ups

shredded cheese
bread dough
roll out bread dough like you are going to make Cinnamon rolls. Sprinkle ground beef and cheese all over the bread. Roll up and cut into around one inch rolls-like Cinnamon rolls. cook 400 for 10-12 min

ground beef ideas
De said...
Ground beef? There's southwestern pie: beef + tomato soup + corn with a biscuit or cornbread topper. Also stroganoff: beef + cream of mushroom (or celery) soup + sour cream served over noodles. Asian "noodley beef" stuff: pack of frozen veggies + beef + broken up package of ramen + flavor packet.

Easter tradition
We start a jar a few weeks before Easter that Is for nice things we do. Each time someone does something kind or extra, they get to put a bean in the jar. Then on Easter the Easter bunny turns the beans in the jar into jelly beans. The kids try really hard to do kind things this time of year because they want lots of jelly beans! -Christine
Another tradition we love at our house is when you are ready to eat the boiled eggs from Easter you can't just peel them and eat them. You have to roll them at each other. So 2 people face each other like you are going to roll a ball to each other and roll the eggs at each other at the same time. the object of the game is to get the 2 eggs to crash into each other as many times as you can until one egg is defiantly the looser. The winner gets to roll the next person's egg, the looser gets to peel and eat the egg! - Christine
