Go back to Wednesday -- I was supposed to have made my grocery list so I could shop on Thursday - didn't get done between a training I had to attend, grouchy kids, laundry, wrestling practice, cross country meet, and scouts - you know all the fun mom stuff you get to do in a day. Soo I got to Wednesday night and was super stresses - what was I going to make for dinner, I wasn't going to get shopping, I hadn't been able to make some chicken items last week because I was out of chicken in the freezer (who knew - both pre-cooked and chicken breast) Soo, to calm down I finally thought - hmm, I do have pre-cooked hamburger in the freezer, I can make bread topped hamburger. It is quick and easy, can rise while I pick up Duncan.... I don't need to go to the store.....
Fast forward to Thursday - I'm making said bread topped hamburger casserole - because I have all the stuff right?? wrong! I have since run out of milk, never had cream of mushroom soup, don't have celery (rotted) or bell pepper (used them all up.) Soo, I improvised with food storage and was grateful to have such things.
Here is the original with my substitutions written to the side
Hamburger mixture ingredients
- 1 lb hamburger
- dried onions
- 1/4 c diced bell pepper (dried red and green pepper)
- 2 stalks celery, diced (freeze dried celery)
- 1 can cream of mushroom soup (1/2 cup this mix plus 1 Tablespoon beef bouillon and dehydrated mushrooms plus 1 1/2-2 cups water)
- 1 can vegetable beef soup
- 1 tsp sugar
- 1 8 oz. can of tomato sauce (I almost subbed tomato powder just to make it really powder based but didn't.)
- 1 pkg. Yeast or 1 Tablespoon
- 1 1/2 cups flour
- 2 Tablespoon sugar
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 2 eggs
- 1/2 cup scalded milk - turned into a little over 1/2 cup warm water plus
- 1.5 Tablespoons powdered milk
- 1 Tablespoon powdered butter
- 1/2 tsp thyme
- 1/2 tsp oregano
Fry hamburger with onions (or use precooked), I put the pre-cooked, tossed all of the ingredients on top then stirred it all together. . Bring to boil. Reduce heat and simmer while preparing the bread.
Place bread ingredients in a bowl =I put warm water, sugar, yeast followed by flower, powdered milk and butter, spices.. Beat 3 minutes.
Pour hamburger mixture in 9 X 13 pan
Pour bread mixture over meat. -Let rise 30 minutes. Bake at 350 for 30 minutes.
