Mushel-Burgers!

Last night we were supposed to have hamburgers, but instead we had dinner at our friend Norman's house. We popped in to meet his new granddaughter and planned to go out for dinner, but Norman and his daughter Julie insisted we stay.  Julie's baby is darling.

Tonight, instead of hamburgers, I made a treat, Mushel-Burgers!  My family loves it. This is a simple meal that takes me back to my childhood.  We always had this served with potato chips and kool-aid.

• In large, deep pan, stir fry two pounds of lean ground beef until brown.  Drain fat.
• Sprinkle entire packet of onion soup mix over meat.
• Mix 3 heaping tablespoons of corn starch into 2 cups water.
• Pour water over the meat and stir until it is a rolling boil. 
• Reduce temp to simmer and cook uncovered for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally.
• Make a meat sandwich with mayo, mustard and five pickle slices on soft white bread.

I served this with frozen steak fries, drizzled with EVOO, sea salt, and rosemary.  Bake at 375 for 20 minutes
Present: Marty, Mark, David, Audrey.  There is enough left over for a sandwich lunch for me and for David..
