Here's a recipe from my daughter that has a lot going for it. It's simple to toss together with ingredients I usually have on hand...and it's fun at the table, too, because everyone gets to build their own haystack !Dorothy Krauss, Halstead, Kansas Ingredients:
1-1/2 pounds ground beef |
2 tablespoons chopped onion |
1 can (10-3/4 ounces) condensed tomato soup, undiluted |
1 teaspoon chili powder |
1 teaspoon dried oregano |
1-1/2 teaspoons ground cumin |
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder |
1 teaspoon salt |
1/2 teaspoon pepper |
cheese sauce: |
4 tablespoons butter, cubed |
4 tablespoons king arthur unbleached all-purpose flour |
1 cup milk |
1 can (11 ounces) condensed cheddar cheese soup, undiluted |
1/2 pound process cheese (velveeta), cubed |
corn chips |
cooked rice |
shredded lettuce |
picante sauce, optional |
