Summer Savories: New Recipes Edition

I have not cooked as many new recipes as I had hoped to this summer. We got a little busy running around, doing this and that, and just having fun! However, I did try two recipes a few weeks ago. I am making a new recipe in the crockpot today and plan on several new ones next week. I will let you know how they go!

Taco Pie

1 lb, ground beef

1 pkg taco seasoning

8 oz cresent rolls

2 cups crushed corn chips

1 can refried beans

8 oz cheese

Preheat oven to 375. Brown meat and add seasoning. Press crescent dough into 9" pie pan and form crust. Sprinkle 1 cup chips, add beef, add refried beans, add cheese, sprinkle 1/2 cup chips on top. Bake for 17-20 minutes.

My rating: I give this recipe a 3.5 out of 5. I think adding rotel for some extra spice would bump it up to a 5!

Hamburger Stroganoff

1 lb. ground beef

1 onion - diced

1 tsp garlic

1 can cream of mushroom soup

1/2 tsp salt

1 cup sour cream

egg noodles or rice (I used egg noodles)

Cook beef with onion and garlic. Stir soup and salt into beef and simmer uncovered for 10 minutes; reduce heat to low. Stir in sour cream and heat until hot. While you are making the beef, cook the egg noodles according to the package. Serve beef mixture over noodles.

My rating: I give this recipe a 5 out of 5! It was yumm-o! We ate every last leftover. Next time, I am going to see how it freezes.
