Frugal Simplicity

3 pounds ground beef
25 saltine crackers, crushed
1 cup milk
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon Italian seasoning
3 cans condensed cream of mushroom soup
1 can mushrooms, drained

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. In a large bowl, mix together the ground beef, crackers, milk, pepper, salt, garlic powder, and Italian seasoning. Form 6 or 8 large beef patties, and place in a 9×13 inch baking dish, or other shallow casserole dish. Pour the condensed soup evenly over the top of the patties, and sprinkle canned mushrooms over the top. Cover the pan with a lid or aluminum foil. Bake for about 45 minutes in the preheated oven, or until beef patties are well done.

These are delicious served with rice, mashed potatoes, or pasta.
