Whenever I make something with minced beef (hamburger, the Yanks call it), I always get enough, when it's cheap (on sale) in order to make the above dish or similar and Spaghetti Bolognese as well as Chilli Con Carne.
ReplyDeleteThe secret to many of these dishes coming out right and rich is tomato puree (Yanks call it paste - the thick one we get in little tiny cans or tubes).
Here, thought is Auntie Kay's Pork Chops - A very cheap dish as pork is always cheapish.
2-4 boneless pork chops
1 Green Pepper
4 sticks of celery
2 Cans of bachelors (Campbell's) condensed tomato soup
A squeeze of tomato puree
Chicken stock
Throw it all in a casserole dish with the veg chopped and no water except a bit to make about a quarter cup of chicken stock.
Heat for 45 mins and serve with creamed (Mashed) potato.
