This guest post is brought to you by my mom who told me not to tell you that she submitted this recipe but I am ’cause that’s how I roll.  Here’s my Mom’s Tortellini Soup!

INGREDIENTS:

• 3/4 lb cooked hamburger or Italian sausage crumbled
• 1 can Italian recipe stewed tomatoes (ie..Del Monte)
• 1 can (14 oz) beef broth
• 1 package tortellini, cooked al dente
• 1 can Italian green beans
• 2 green onions, sliced

DIRECTIONS:

Combine hamburger, tomatoes, broth and 1 3/4 cups water; bring to a boil.  Reduce heat to low; stir in tortellini, green beans and onions.  Gently cook until heated through.  Season with salt and pepper.  Sprinkle with grated Parmesan Cheese if desired.

Makes 4 servings (about 2 1/2 cups each)

TIP: If you don’t have Italian stewed tomatoes…I use regular stewed or just diced tomatoes in a can and add some Italian seasoning.

Okay, so I really don’t know the name of this recipe. It was given to me by a friend of mine years ago. It’s been a cowboy favorite for many years for me. People try to take short cuts like NOT pan frying the patties but you can’t do that! It’s not the same if you don’t pan fry them! Thank you to Johnna for giving me the recipe and many others.

INGREDIENTS:

• Ground beef formed into patties
• Cheddar Cheese
• 2 Cans Cream of chicken or 1 can of cream of chicken & 1 of cream of mushroom
• Green Chilies but I highly recommend Rotel!  I know many of you don’t have Rotel though.
• Flour

DIRECTIONS:

Flour up your patties and start frying them.  While they are cooking, mix up your cream of soups and green chilies and set aside.  When patties are done, place in casserole dish and cover with soup mixture.  Top with cheese and bake in 350′ oven until warm and cheese melts.

Served with my quick bread rolls, green beans and mash taters!
