Home Made Beefaroni

I have no idea what store bought beefaroni tastes like so I am not sure how well this compares.
1# ground beef
1onion
2-4 t garlic (depends on how much you like garlic)
1 can tomato soup
2-3 T yellow mustard
shredded cheddar cheese
1# macaroni cooked

I run the onion and garlic through the food processor to almost puree. Dump them in a skillet with the ground beef. Cook til beef is brown. Stir in soup and mustard. Pour over cooked pasta and top with cheese.
Pretty kid friendly, quick and yummy

Chicken fried steak with Milk Gravy

Cubed steak, also known as minute steak or chopped steak. We prefer pork to beef.
Milk
Couple eggs
flour
salt
paprika
Pepper
couple tbs of butter
couple cups of milk


Put milk in 1 pie plate, eggs (beaten) in another and flour with spices in another. Generally 1 t. of each spice per cup of flour. Heat veg oil in a large skillet. The oil ensures good contact with the skillet so don't skimp. Wet each steak in the milk, then dredge in flour, egg, and flour again. Put in skillet and cook 5 min on each side. If they are thick steaks, check for doneness. Remove to a plate covered with foil to keep warm until all are done. When all meat is cooked, melt 3 T of butter or marg. in skillet. This amount depends on how much gravy you want. I generally double it. When the butter is melted and done foaming, add an equal amount of flour and whisk together. Then slowly add milk while whisking. If going with the 3T of butter and flour, generally 2C of milk is right, but once you have made it you can just eyeball it. Heat to boiling and keep whicking until desired thickness is achieved. Serve steaks with an obscene amount of gravy. DH loved mashed potatoes with this, but I just wast twice as much meat. Very Very good with crescent rolls

This recipe also comes from Recipezaar. I am using the exact title that it is listed there so you can check the source and give credit to the original poster.

6 pork chops
Italian bread crumbs
flour
Eggs
Veg. Oil
1 large can of Cream of mush soup
milk.

Heat a couple tbs of oil in a skillet. Dredge chops in flour, then egg, then crumbs. Brown in hot skillet on both sides. Place browned chops in a 9x13. Cover with foil and bake an hour @ 350. After an hour, mix soup with enough milk to make the consistency of gravy that you prefer. Pour it over the chops, recover with foil, and bake for another 20 min. Serve over jasmine rice.
