"i've Only Got a Quarter Meal"

Happy Harry #2

By: Happy Harry #2

Way back when....I use to get $15.00 a week to feed two adults, one toddler and a infant. I use to get one lbs of ground beef, cut it into quarters and make four meals. Back then I called it, "Dr. Martins Mix" in honor of the Dr. to whom we owed so much money. The amount of servings really depend on who you are serving, adults or children.

SERVES 2 -4 (change servings and units)

Ingredients

Directions

  1. 1
    Roll ground beef into very small balls, just a touch bigger than the peas. (yes, time consuming, but at that size it seems like you have a lot more meat).
  2. 2
    Brown on medium heat in non-stick pan sprayed lightly with oil. Keep them moving while browning.
  3. 3
    Add rest of ingredients, slowly stirring until all is well incorporated.
  4. 4
    Serve over rice, pasta. or toast points.
  5. 5
    And that's all there is, folks!
