Taco soup reminds me of my family. Whenever there was going to be lots of us and my mom didn't have time to make a "nice" meal, she could always whip out taco soup. It's a huge family favorite and can easily feed 60 people. We have done it many times. Taco soup brings back many memories of camping with my family. We camp a lot and therefore have a lot of taco soup!

Glorified Hamburgers

* Fry hamburgers first

Sauce:

- 1 cup ketchup

- 3 tbsp vinegar

- 1/4 cup brown sugar

- 1 medium onion -- chopped fine

- 1/2 cup water

** Pour the sauce over the burgers and take at 350 for 1/2 hour

When I think of glorified hamburgers, my mouth just starts to water. MMM! Oh I love them. These remind me of summer and all our barbecues that we had at the lake. My family loves to just wake up and go to the lake and be there all day long! And the best thing is that we sometimes get glorified hamburgers. They just simmer in the sauce and all you need is a bun!

Enough said.
