BEANS BURNING IN THE KITCHEN

What's that one phrase at the beginning of the old TV series "The Jefferson's?" Something about "beans burning in the kitchen?"

Well, I hope none of you tried making the hamburger soup I blogged about yesterday. If you did, you've got more than beans burning! You've got everything burning! I forgot the MOST IMPORTANT ingredient -- V8 juice! Yep, after you've got all the other ingredients in the crock pot, pour a large can or a jar of V8 juice over the whole thing! You can also add a couple teaspoons of dried minced onion, if you wish, or brown a regular onion with the hamburg. That all depends on whether or not you like onions and how much. I love 'em. But yesterday my dear, sweet hubby saw me start to dice an onion and said not to use any onion as he had a slight tummy ache. So much for onions! (I didn't tell him, but when he wasn't looking I added 2 teaspoons dried minced onion. He didn't complain and slept well last night. So it must not have bothered him!)

Maybe I should write a book on "Sneaky Confessions from the Cook!"

Hmmmm -- wonder if last night's supper is why he suggested we eat out this evening instead of having left-over hamburger soup?????
