Gepetto 1,007 Posted April 7, 2022 We call it hamburger pie. It's not pie at all. It's a casserole and pretty simple but delicious. It's cooked ground beef mixed with tomato (sauce or paste, not sure which) and green beans from a can. Mashed potatoes on top. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

fandandy 3,312 Posted April 7, 2022 My mom can't cook. I always joke that the last time she made me dinner I still believed in Santa Claus. But she used to make pepper steak in a pressure cooker with green peppers. That was good. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Years ago my mom visited and went food shopping with my wife. Mom did not know you could buy spinach fresh; she thought it came only as a frozen cube. Like, grown in the arctic tundra or something.

I chose the "don't even try" path. To answer the OP, the one thing my mom made which was good, and we still eat on occasion so it reminds me of home, is kielbasa. She basically simmered it for hours so there wasn't much to it. Historically we would have it on Easter so I would be anticipating it, but my wife just bought a prime tenderloin from Costco instead (yeah OK, I'll slum with that for dinner instead. ). 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

DuckStupid 40 Posted April 11, 2022 My mom was a very good cook and cooked quite a wide variety of dishes. One of the few things she made that I did not enjoy was her lasagna. She put cottage cheese in it. I like cottage cheese, just not in lasagna. Ricotta. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It sounds good and like meal my wife and I would enjoy Sure. 1 pound of ground beef browned Into that mix 1 can of Campbell's tomato soup drain a can of green beans and mix them in Put that in a casserole dish Heat everything up in the microwave or on the stove until hot Mix in butter and sour cream when making the mashed potatoes. You can make the whole casserole ahead of time and heat it up later if you need to, it will still taste good. It's easy my mom said. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Appreciate it I should have mentioned the mashed potatoes go on top of the meat/tomato soup/green bean layer. So the lower half is the meat/tomato soup/green beans and then about the same thickness of mashed potatoes on top. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
