Impossible Cheeseburger Pie!

This recipe is adapted from the Bisquick box. It used to read "Impossible Cheeseburger Pie" and I used to make fun of it, but I noticed they changed it a few years ago to "Impossibly Easy Cheeseburger Pie", but it's just not the same. Impossible Cheeseburger Pie it shall always be to me!

***********************************************

I'll have to ask Mom what "part milk" means (okay to substitute milk for broth if you don't have enough?), and is it just me, or is that an odd dish size? I'm thinking it will probably be okay in a 9 x 13, I'll just have to watch the baking time.

Chicken Casserole

1/2 cube butter (4T)
3/4 c. raw rice
1 can chicken rice soup
1 can chicken gumbo soup
2 c. cooked chicken or 1 sm. can chicken

Melt butter in casserole dish, stir in raw rice and soups. Add chicken. Bake in covered casserole dish at 350° for one hour.

***********************************************

I'm not sure what size of can of soup it intends, but I'm thinking probably the 12ish oz ones.

Plans

I am going to work on posting Mom's recipes from the 1989 Heritage Homemade cookbook she did. I'm pretty sure that I'm the only person in the family besides her (and maybe Grandma) that has a copy. These recipes will be tagged "HH".

Popeye Pancackes (aka German Pancakes)

This is one of Ye Olde Family Recipes. I have used 100% whole wheat flour and actually prefer it, so any ratio blend should work as well.

Popeye Pancakes

1 c. milk
1 c. flour
6 eggs
1/4 t. salt
3-6 T. butter

In 9x13 pan , melt 3-6 T. butter in 350° oven. Combine all other ingredients with blender or egg beater until frothy. Pour batter into pan once butter is sizzling. Bake for 25-35 minutes until lightly browned. Serve like pancakes.

Raisin Bran Muffins

Raisin Bran Muffins

1 c. whole wheat flour
1/2 c. wheat bran
1 tsp. baking soda
1/2 tsp. baking powder
1/2 tsp. salt
1 c. skim milk
1/4 c. honey
1/4 c. applesauce
1 egg
1/4-1/2 c. raisins

Combine dry ingredients in one bowl, and wet ingredients in another. Combine both mixtures and add raisins. Drop into greased muffin tin and bake for 12-15 minutes at 375 degrees. Makes about 12.
