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. 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.

I would set the table with fine china, crystal tea glasses, real cloth napkins, and, well, the silverware was our everyday fare. I would serve a one-pot dish, such as Shrimp Creole over buttered rice, accompanied by a green salad. For dessert, we would have chocolate cake. Oh, the memories are flooding in. sniff sniff!

The best turkey and dressing you will ever eat. And don't forget the giblet gravy. This is my Mother in law Betty's recipe.
