And thank you for sharing it with me. I hope you don't mind that I print it here:

1 lb. ground Portuguese

2 cups dry beans

1 can tomato soup

1/2 tsp ground pepper

cook until tender.

Good lord, MS- at least seven of those culinary perversions were on my mom's list as well. Was your mom from Nebraska? I might have to get around to posting some of my In-Law's recipes- they are Danish/Scottish/Swedish, and not too terribly discriminating when it comes to defining what's edible.

Buckwheat pancakes!!!! Now, that takes me back......to a place I really didn't want to go!

Could I have the receipe for this please?.....My Mom used to make something like this, but alas she's gone and this receipe I didn't get before she passed. If it's anything like hers.....the Wolfpack will love it!

I have my Mom's recipe cards. I should go through them one day.

Round Steak Casserole


Oven: 375°

3 medium or 2 large potatoes, peeled and sliced
1 large onion, peeled and sliced
½ cup green pepper, diced
1 lbs round steak, cut in 1 inch squares
1 cup beef gravy
1 tbsp water
1 tbsp tomato paste
1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
½ tsp salt
¼ tsp pepper

Arrange half the potatoes, onions, and peppers in bottom of a large casserole dish. Layer steak on top, followed by remaining vegetables. In a small bowl, combine remaining ingredients. Pour over casserole. Bake for 2 hours

Doesn't sound like my Mom's, but it DOES sound delicious.

Thanks so much, will try it out in the next week or so.

If I make it again, I'm going to up the tomato paste and worcestershire sauce a little. It needs a little more umph.
