DSCF2517

For me, the following is the best way to cook lamb chops in the oven. (I still remember the first time I cooked lamb chops in the oven- and they caught on fire! It was a shock…I hadn’t realized that the fat was quite so flammable. Hey, I was young and inexperienced).

Hamburger Soup- easy ground beef dinner

Hamburger soup may sound a bit strange, but it is very tasty and can be assembled in a crockpot/slow cooker in the morning before heading off to work, and is excellent with a nice loaf of bread. If you have a bread maker, set a loaf to complete when you get home and supper is ready.

Put the following in a slow cooker:

one large diced onion
1 pound lean ground beef (if not lean, brown and strain off excess fat)
1 cup diced carrot
1 cup diced potato
1 cup shredded cabbage
1 can sliced mushrooms, drained
1 can diced tomatoes
1 can tomato soup
1 clove garlic, minced
1 stalk celery, chopped
1 teaspoon each, salt and pepper
1 tablespoon paprika
Stir it all about until thoroughly mixed. If there is an ingredient you do not like, leave it out. You can substitute something else that you do like (peppers, beans, corn…).

Set on low, and go to work. It can cook from 8-12 hours. Makes a very hearty soup.
