My younger brother dropped in last night. We had hamburgers for dinner - Aussie style. Burger, bacon, egg, cheese, grilled onions, tomato, lettuce, cucumber and beetroot.

Beetroot? Do you call them beets over in the US?

I place the sliced beetroot over the lettuce and tomato; much like you would pickles.

We do, I was just joking with you. I HATE beets & can't imagine putting then on a sandwich. Do you use the pickled ones?
My mom loves them. I'm going to have to tell her to try them on a burger!!!!

I can't wait to tell my mom! She eats those things all the time.

I know the Kiwis eat them that way. Who came up with it first?

Dinner tonight was perfect for a cold snowy day...
I had it waiting for DH once he FINALLY got home!

Yummy "7 Can Soup"
But, I use 8 cans...
So easy and so good!!!

4 cans of Minestroni Soup
2 cans of Petite Diced Tomatos
1 can of Rotel (I use two)
2 pounds ground beef
1 onion
1 tablespoon Worsteshire Sauce
1/2 tablespoon Garlic Powder

Soften onions in a little olive oil, then brown with ground beef.
Add all other ingredients.
Simmer on low for 30 minutes (or 2 hours on high in crock pot, or 4 hours on low)

Garnish with a shredded Mexican Cheese blend and Sour Cream.
Serve with corn chips.

Meatless option: Use 3 packs of fake ground beef (can't remember what the real name is... Don't brown it, only brown the onions and add the "meat" with everything else.)
