Mexican Soup

I got this recipe from my father-in-law. It is my second favorite home made soup. I hope you will try it. It is a great "chilly day" kind of soup. People always ask for this recipe after eating it!

Mexican Soup

1/2 pound ground beef
1 lg onion, chopped
1 can shoepeg corn (you can get this where your canned corn is sold)
1 can yellow hominy (also where the corn is)
1 can pinto beans
1 can black beans
2 cans mild Ro-tel
1 jar (24 oz) mild Picante sauce
1 (12oz) can V-8 juice (soda can size)

*Brown meat and onion together. Add rest of ingredients and simmer 1 hour.
*Serve with Frito's, sour cream, and cheese

Baked Spaghetti

This dish is a particular favorite at our house. B doesn't like traditional spaghetti, so I fix this often, tonight as a matter of fact. He really likes it. And it's easy.

Baked Spaghetti

12-14 oz. Spaghetti, cooked (salt to taste) (rinse a little with cool water so the eggs won't cook)

1/2 cup Parmesan cheese

2 eggs

1 pt. sour cream

1 lb. ground beef

1 jar prepared spaghetti sauce (I use traditional Ragu)

Mozzarella

*

Preheat oven to 375. Brown ground beef. Mix together cooked spaghetti, Parmesan, and eggs.

Place spaghetti mixture in a 9x13 pan. Spread sour cream over noodles. Mix together ground beef and spaghetti sauce. Spread mixture over top of sour cream. Sprinkle Mozzarella on top-(to taste). Bake 20 minutes.

Notes: Be sure to salt the pasta. I also use some black pepper. This makes a lot and is good for company. Serve with a green salad and garlic bread.
