Girlfriends' RECIPE Collection

I've probably pass this one on to ya'll before, but a college roommate of mine asked for it today (after 9 years, she still remembers it so it must be good) 2 lbs. hamburger 4 carrots, cut & diced 4 celery stalks, cut & diced 1 lrg. onion, chopped 1 green pepper, cut & diced 1 15oz. can of tomato sauce 1/4 cup vinegar 1/2 cup brown sugar 1 1/2 cups ketchup 1/4 cup prepared mustard 1/4 cup lemon juice Brown hamburger, celery, carrots, onions & green pepper. Drain. Combine all ingredients. Cook on the stove top on low 1 1/2-2 hrs. or in a crockpot on low 6-8 hrs. Serve on buns.

From Beryl ....a co-worker of Mike's...I couldn't stop eating these and they were a hit at the New Years party I made them for also! 1 lb. fresh mushrooms 1 T. butter 1/2 lb. crab meat 2 8 oz. packages cream cheese 2 T. mayonnaise 1 tsp. garlic salt 5 to 10 drops of Tabasco Sauce Clean mushrooms and removed stems. Set caps aside. Chop stems and saute in melted butter. Add remaining ingredients and heat til smooth. Bake covered at 350 degrees for 20 minutes. Spoon hot mixture into mushroom caps. Top them with shredded cheese and dust them with Old Bay spice. Place them back in the oven, just to melt the cheese. ** Mixture can also be served as a dip on chips or crackers if you're not a mushroom fan!
