If ONE meal stands out from my childhood THIS IS IT.  Something so simple and containing just 3 straight forward, common ingredients it comes together in a snap instantly taking me back to family dinner around the table!  The burgers steam in the soup and get a rich, juicy flavor like you cooked it all day.  Serve with mashed potatoes and you have a complete meal heavy on comfort but light on effort!

What you need:

• 1 pound ground beef
• 2 cans Campbell’s Vegetable Soup with ABC pasta (not the barley one; I use the Vegetarian one)
• 1 cup shredded cheese
• Salt & Pepper to taste

Make it:

• Form ground beef into 3 or 4 patties (1/3 pound or 1/4 pound – however you prefer)
• Salt & Pepper both sides
• Preheat on medium heat a deep sided skillet
• Sear both sides thoroughly, about 4-5 minutes each side, until deeply browned
• Drain off most of the grease
• Cover the top of each burger patty with the soup – straight out of the can
• Add all the remaining soup to the skillet and about 1/2 can of water
• Cover and reduce heat to low.   Cook, covered for about 20 minutes or until burger has reached desired done-ness.  Depending on the thickness; time will vary.  I cook mine to a medium well – just a tiny bit pink but hot all the way through.
• Top with shredded cheese and cover for 3 more minutes or until cheese melts.
• Serve with mashed potatoes and spoon extra soup from the pan on top.
