Hamburger Heaven Recipe

  • Set aside:  2 cups of cooked noodles; don't overcook  If you add a little oil to the noddles they won't stick while they are waiting to be added to the main dish.  You can also use noodles left over from a previous day.
  • 1 pound of hamburger
  • 1 cup of diced celery
  • 1/2 cup slices olives (black)
  • 1/2 pound of cheese (like a cheddar)
  • 2 small cans of stewed tomatoes
  • 1/2 cup of water
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon pepper

Brown meat on high, and then drain excess oil from pan.  Add other ingredients, except for the noodles.  Cover.  After it steams, reduce heat to the lowest possible heat and cook for 20-30 minutes. A couple of minutes before taking off the stove, add the noodles, so the noodles are heated through and through.  The hamburger heaven recipe is a great dish for kids (you can leave out the olives, if they object) and hearty eaters.
