Penne Paprikash

Yes, I know this is not authentic... but it is simple and yummy. One could add sour cream at the end instead of the cheddar cheese.
Brown ground beef; I use Touchstone Angus. Add some paprika, chopped onion (or dried onion), a can of crushed tomatoes, a bit of water, penne pasta. Cook until pasta is done. Add shredded cheddar cheese, stir until melted.
Ta-da!

Back O' the Box Meatloaf Meatballs

This is pretty much the recipe on the back of the onion soup mix, for meatloaf. I put half a packet of soup mix into 1 lb of Touchstone Angus ground beef. Added a healthy squirt of catsup, a handful of oatmeal (instead of breadcrumbs), pepper, and an egg. Formed into meatballs, rolled in flour, browned them. I made a tan roux, added water and the rest of the soup mix. Put it all in a slow cooker for the afternoon.

Potato Soup

There are many variations of this soup, but this is how we make it in my family. Cut up some potatoes, and some chopped onion. Cook in a small amount of water until potatoes are tender. If The water has mostly boiled away, just add some milk. If too much water is left in the pot, pour some out before adding milk. Heat to a slight simmer. In a small bowl (or mug), crack a couple of eggs, add salt and flour. Use enough flour to make a sticky dough. Drop by teaspoons into the simmering soup. I like to add a pat of butter and lots of pepper.
This is a good supper for those times when the pantry is rather bare. Potatoes, onion, milk, eggs, flour, et voila!
