What in the???

If you read my weekly menus- I’ve been asked “What is Salmagundi?” I was hoping someone would ask that! Thanks KSC!
Salmagundi is a recipe my mother found in a very old cookbook at the little cabin we visit some summers in Northern Wisconsin. The cabin is owned by friends of the family and my family has been going there since my father was a child. It is a wonderful cabin memory for us and I make it because it’s good but more for the nostalgia. I also love it because it has such a strange name- my family has another name for it too- Slop. Yep, you read that right. Grew up on a pig farm and that’s kind of what it looks like sittin’ in your bowl at the table . . . . . the name slop has never deterred us from eating it either.

Salmagundi

1 lb. hamburger

2-3 Tbsp flour

salt & pepper to taste

1 can Vegetable Soup

1 can Cream of Mushroom Soup

½ soup can of milk

          Brown meat, sprinkle with flour, salt & pepper. Add soups and milk, mix well. Cook on top of stove @ med. heat until heated thru [or in casserole dish for 30 min. @ 350 degrees].

Serve over mashed potatoes.

This dish costs me $2.65 to make.

This dish reminds me of fall too- my mama often made it in the fall. The leaves are beginning to turn colors and swirl down to the ground now. We are tracking them in the house . . . .
