Here's a recipe from my daughter that has a lot going for it. It's simple to toss together with ingredients I usually have on hand...and it's fun at the table, too, because everyone gets to build their own haystack !—Dorothy Krauss, Halstead, Kansas
Ingredients:
1-1/2 pounds ground beef
2 tablespoons chopped onion
1 can (10-3/4 ounces) condensed tomato soup, undiluted
1 teaspoon chili powder
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1-1/2 teaspoons ground cumin
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon pepper
cheese sauce:
4 tablespoons butter, cubed
4 tablespoons king arthur unbleached all-purpose flour
1 cup milk
1 can (11 ounces) condensed cheddar cheese soup, undiluted
1/2 pound process cheese (velveeta), cubed
corn chips
cooked rice
shredded lettuce
picante sauce, optional
Directions:
1. In a skillet, cook beef with onion until the beef is browned and the onion is tender; drain. Stir in tomato soup, chili powder, oregano, cumin, garlic powder, salt and pepper; simmer until heated through.
2. For cheese sauce, melt butter in a saucepan. Add flour; cook and stir until a smooth paste forms. Gradually add milk; cook and stir until thickened. Stir in cheese soup. Add cheese; cook only until it melts.
3. To serve, prepare individual corn chip nests ; layer each with meat mixture, rice and lettuce. Top with cheese sauce, and picante sauce if desired. Yield: 6-8 servings.
