Make an Old-Fashion Comfort-Food Meal for Your Family Quickly and Easily!

Sometimes we just feel the need to have an old-fashion comfort food meal.  These recipes are quick and easy to make and will be a hit with your family.  The best part is that all these recipes are inexpensive so they will fit right into your food budget.  Start with Aunt Stella's Cheeseburger Pie as an entree, add Easy Old-Fashion Baked Beans, they bake for 1 1/2 hours but they are quick to assemble and can be baked ahead to save time later.  The Garden Vegetable Salad will round out the meal.
AUNT STELLA'S CHEESEBURGER PIE
1 1/2 lb ground beef
1 medium onion, chopped
3/4 cup catsup
1 pkg American cheese
1 can biscuits
Brown the hamburger meat with the onion, salt it to suit you, and drain off fat. Add the catsup and stir to mix up. Place the mixture in the bottom of a round cake pan. Top with the cheese slices then the biscuits. Bake at 400 degrees for 20 minutes.
EASY OLD FASHION BAKED BEANS
This recipe is from an old grocery store ad.
2 cans (regular-size) Great Northern Beans
1 cup tomato catsup
1/2 cup brown sugar
2 tbsp prepared mustard
1 medium onion, chopped
6 slices bacon, cut into 2-inch pieces
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Saute the onion and bacon. Set aside. Combine the beans, catsup, brown sugar, and mustard. Pour the bean mixture into a lightly buttered casserole dish. Top with the bacon and onion mixture. Cover and bake at 350 degrees for 1 1/2 hours. Serves 6 to 8.
GARDEN VEGETABLE SALAD
1 head cauliflower
1 large bunch of broccoli
1 can black olives
1 lb fresh white mushrooms
1 lb cherry tomatoes
1 small red onion, sliced into thin rings
salt to taste, optional
Your favorite dressing
Cut or break cauliflower and broccoli into bite size pieces; place into a salad bowl. Slice the mushrooms into the bowl. Drain the black olives well and add to the bowl. Cut the tomatoes into halves and add to the bowl. Add the onion rings and salt, if desired. Mix vegetables together well. Add your favorite dressing (I prefer Italian) and toss before serving.
Enjoy!
