Rush Hour Supper {A Family Favorite One Pot Meal}

Rush Hour Super is an old recipe using ground beef that my Mother in law gave me when I first got married. Something Easy and Quick is what she helped me learn to cook.

Rush Hour Supper

Sometime in the late 80's my Mother in law gave me this recipe for Rush Hour Supper that someone had given her, that someone had given them, and so on.

Isn't it like that, you get a recipe from someone, that gets it from someone, and then you never know where it originated from.

All I know is that this recipe was a staple in our house when my children were growing up.

Rush Hour Supper

You can make Rush Hour Supper in no time with few ingredients that you usually have on hand, and it is another way to use hamburger.  Are you one of those cooks who is always looking for a new recipe for using hamburger?

Often times I serve this dish with either String Beans, Buttered Corn, and some type of bread or cornbread. You could also just serve it with a salad and bread.

Although, I think it is one of those one pot meals that you can just eat by itself, and it's excellent. I do have to say that one of my children was not a fan of this meal growing up.

What is so funny today, she is raising five boys that are nothing like she was, a picky eater. Guess who is using this recipe as her go to recipe when she needs a quick meal or actually just because she thinks it is delicious!

  • 1 chopped onion
