3 tbsp of flour
1 tsp of beef bouillon or 1 bouillon cube
3/4 tsp of salt
1/4 tsp of pepper
1 cup of water
1 cup of sour cream
rice, noodles or thin sliced potatoes

Saute hamburger, onions and garlic in skillet. Mix in flour, bouillon, salt and pepper. Stir in water; heat to boiling, stirring constantly. Reduce heat; cover and simmer 10 minutes. Stir in sour cream; heat 2 minutes. Serve over hot rice, noodles or thin sliced potatoes.

Admin Notes: This makes a really good meal in my opinion. In fact I made it tonight and just finished eating it over thin sliced potatoes. I got mad at my wife while I was cooking though, she was in the kitchen, crowding my space, I asked her to do something for me and she asked what I thought was a stupid question and I snapped at her. We had a shouting match which resulted in deathly silence for the next hour. I can be a real jerky grouch when I'm cooking. We have since made up, so all is good in the Camick household

Tuna Over Toast

What you will need:


1 can of tuna
2 tbsp butter
flour
milk
salt and pepper to taste
toasted bread

Melt the butter in a sauce pan. Open and drain a can of tuna and add it to the pan. Add flour and mix well so that it has the consistency of play dough. Slowly add milk, so as not to make it clumpy, stirring constantly until you've reached your desired consistency. Bring to boil, stirring constantly, sauce will thicken. If it is to thick add more milk. Salt and pepper to taste. Toast your bread and ladle the gravy over the toast and enjoy.

Admin Notes: My mother-in-law introduced this wonderfully simple meal to me. When I saw it for the first time I didn't think much of it but I am not one to be picky when I am a guest at someone else's house, so I ate it and I was pleasantly surprised. This has become a definite favorite of mine, especially at the end of the month when there is more month at the end of the money. My wife says that whenever her mother used to make it for them she would tell them, "Your grandfather always called it s#%t on a shingle." LOL Old people say the darndest things.

Dreks' Guacamole

You will need:

• 2 ripe hass avocados
• 1 green bell pepper - chopped
• 1/2 cup fresh cilantro - chopped
• 1 bunch of green onion - chopped
• 2 jalapeno peppers - seeded and chopped (keep seeds in for extra spiciness) 
• 2 large tomatoes
• 2 tbsp lemon juice

Combine all ingrediants in blender and blend until liquified. Refrigerate for a couple hours to let flovours blend. Serve with your favorite corn chips and sour cream if desired.

Note: If you want some crunch to it, liquify half of peppers, green onion and tomatoes. Then afterward add the remaining chopped ingrediants, stir in and refrigerate.

Creator/Admin Comment: I used to be crazy about making my own guacamole and salsa a while back. I just loved the stuff. This is my own recipe, it makes quite a bit, great for parties. If you don't want quite so much you can half the recipe.

There was one time I went to the grocery store to get some hot peppers to make a big batch of guacamole and they had habanero  peppers. I didn't know what they were, so in the spirit of experimentation I purchased  ten of them. I didn't eat one before using them, I just thought they wouldn't make the dip so hot because they were so small, so I put all ten of them in my dip. My cousin helped cut them up and he didn't wear gloves, of course he ended up touching his eyes, the next 15 minutes or so involved him screaming with watering and swollen eyes and me rolling on the floor laughing. When it came time to eating my marvelous creation I was stunned by the potency of the hot peppers, I could hardly get one chip down. It literally took my breath away and I spent then next 15 minutes or so eating bread and drinking milk. Fun stuff. Good times.
