Thank goodness for Moms Campbell's Macaroni Dinner

My mom, with her brood of six kids, must have really loved  the Kraft Dinner Hour and shows sponsored by Campbell's Soup. I haven't made this in years, but some days you just want to be reminded of home and childhood and comfort foods.

We loved this macaroni, ground beef (and onion as we got older and would eat it) dish made with a sauce of a can of tomato soup and a can of cream of mushroom soup. It was always served with either dill pickles or pickled beets in our house. Casseroles were our thing.

These days I add garlic and white wine, but I don't go much further than that. Some things are good the way they are. Once in a while...

I have no other pictures of this because I wasn't going to post it, but if you're looking for something easy to feed your brood of hungry kids, this is the ticket. Blows Hamburger Helper right out of the stew pot, in my opinion.
