Hamburgers and Mushroom Soup Gravy
My mom made this when I was growing up and it ended up being one of my kids' favorites. I had forgotten about it until the other night when my daughter asked me how I made it - apparently, those she's asked didn't get it quite right. Just something quick and simple and easy - we all have THOSE nights.
1 lb. ground beef (or ground turkey - I do use ground beef, extra lean though)
1 can Campbell's Cream of Mushroom Soup
Milk
Purple Onion
Make hamburger patties - 1 lb makes 3 large patties - season with salt, pepper and Season-All
While hamburger patties are cooking, mix 1 can Campbell's Cream of Mushroom soup and 1/2 can of milk (for 2 cans of soup, use 1 can of milk, etc. depending on how much you're making) and cook as directed on can - do NOT add water; you are replacing water with milk, only cutting in half so 'gravy' is thicker
Dice purple onion
Place cooked hamburger patty on plate and cover with Mushroom soup/gravy - top with onions and add salt/pepper to taste.
That's it! Enjoy!

Hamburger patties cooking
Mushroom soup/gravy cooking - I do always use Campbell's, generic brands tend to have a different flavor
For some reason, we always had purple onions on this - I must be a creature of habit!
Finished product - very good! (and cheap and easy!)

Rice Pilaf Chicken & Cashews Recipe
Rice Pilaf Chicken & Chashews Recipe
This recipe was invented on one of those days that I didn't want to go to the store, so I opened up the cabinets and this is what I had to work with. Turned out great and still fix it quite often.
Ingredients:
Skinless Boneless Chicken Breasts
Rice A Roni Rice Pilaf
Cashews
Rinse and cut chicken into bite size pieces - brown in a skillet with olive oil
Prepare Rice A Roni according to package directions in an electric skillet
**Use one box of Rice A Roni for 1 or 2 chicken breasts; 2 boxes of Rice A Roni with package of 3 or 4 chicken breasts
After rice vermicilli is browned and you add the water to the rice add the chicken as well and finish cooking the rice
When rice and chicken are about halfway done, add cashews and finish cooking - this allows the cashews to soften slightly and absorb some of the rice/chicken flavor
Enjoy!
