Have you ever heard of 'Soup Burgers?'

[angstlessk]

Being Catholic in the 50's we ate fish on Friday...fish sticks cause mom hated real fish...but on Saturday night we got Soup Burgers

Brown 1 lb of hamburger
drain the fat

Put into the cooked beef a can of Campbell's Tomato soup...undiluted

Then about 4 oz of Velveeta cheese (1/2 loaf of the small loaf)

Then about 2 tbsp of Worcester sauce

Heat till all is one and serve over hamburger buns..must use knives and forks...as it is really sloppy (pre sloppy joes)

Used to be a cheap meal...there are no cheap meals now days

1. I've never heard of or read a recipe for soup burgers. In the 1970s Hardees hamburger

chain used to sell something called a Huskie. It was a very sloppy hamburger sandwich. We called them "soup burgers." Mom made sloppy joes quite often, but her recipe was mostly hamburger meat fried with onions, ketchup, a bit of mustard, worcesteshire (sp?) sauce and served on a bun. Messy, sloppy, like you said. It was usually on Sunday night.

2. My mom fixed something like that back in the 50s as well. I know it had

the hamburger and tomato soup, but I don't recall the cheese being mixed in.
