An elderly man I cared for shared this recipe with me. I'd make a batch for him and freeze half in single-serving portions for quick meals. I often prepare this for my own family and for church potlucks. - Linnie Watkins, Hebo, Ohio Ingredients:

1 egg |
1 medium onion, finely chopped |
1/2 cup dry bread crumbs |
1/2 teaspoon salt |

1 pound ground beef |
3 cups water |
3 medium potatoes, peeled and quartered |
6 medium carrots, sliced |
1 package (10 ounces) frozen peas |
1/2 cup chopped green pepper |
1 envelope onion soup mix |
