Answer 2

WORKING MAN'S HEARTY CASSEROLE

1 lb. ground round (hamburger meat)

Onion

Salt & pepper

1 can mushroom soup (do not dilute)

1 can tomato soup (do not dilute)

1 pkg. green beans (frozen or otherwise)

1 pkg. carrots (frozen or otherwise, sliced)

2 helpings of mashed potatoes (opt. - onion rings on top)

Brown meat with onion and add salt and pepper as desired. Drain any liquid from meat. Add mushroom and tomato soup. Add beans and carrots (after they are cooked for required time on package). Top with mashed potatoes (instant or otherwise - use recipe for approximately 2 servings).

May also be topped with onion rings on top of mashed potatoes. If onion rings not used, sprinkle potatoes with paprika or top with parsley to add a little color. Bake in 350 degree oven for approximately 1/2 hour (I bake for 1 hour with lid on casserole).

Answer 7

My husband doesn't usually take his lunch unless he knows I've made meatloaf the night before. He loves to take meatloaf sandwiches. But I keep the bread and meat separate until he eats his lunch otherwise the bread gets soggy. I also pack him his favorite potatoes chips and a piece of lemon squares. And to top it off you could always leave a little thinking about you note in the sack.
