Easy Chipped Beef

• 1 pound hamburger
• 1 small onion chopped - optional
• 1 can cream of mushroom soup

Fry onion with the hamburger and drain. Add the undiluted cream of mushroom soup. Heat through. Serve on butter toast or sliced biscuits on a plate.

Wash peppers, cut large ones in half lengthwise, cut tops from small ones. Remove stem, seeds and seed parts, leaving clean shell - Place in boiling salted water and boil 5 minutes.
Drain. Stuff with stuffing below - Place in shallow baking dish containing small amount of water - Bake 25-30 minutes or until brown at 375 degrees.

Brown beef slightly, stirring to keep meat in separate particles, add onion and celery and cook about 5 minutes longer or until vegetables are soft. Add rice and season to taste. Moisten with tomato sauce over stuffed peppers. Makes about 6 stuffed peppers. (I use this recipe sometimes and instead of stuffing peppers slice them in the stuffing to make casserole and pour remaining tomato sauce over top before baking.)

Stuffed Cabbage Rolls

• large cabbage leaves
• 1 lb. hamburger
• 1/2 lb. sausage
• 1/2 cup chopped onions
• 1 egg
• 1 tsp. salt
• 1/4 tsp. pepper and a little tomato sauce(you can use rice also)

Combine all ingredients, except cabbage and tomato sauce. Put a head of cabbage in a pan of very hot water for a few minutes, then take out. The leaves will come apart easily.

Put in pan and pour tomato sauce or tomato soup over them and put in oven for about 40 minutes at 350 degrees.
