Oh, that does look good; nicely browned biscuits! Would a vegetable beef soup have been an option, too? Just throwing out ideas.

I'm a single person, too, and I just made a two rib standing roast to
practice before hosting my kids on Christmas Eve, so there were a LOT of
leftovers. The leftovers have been going in a lot of different directions,
but one of my favorites was roast beef hash. Small diced potatoes, small
cubed beef, diced green pepper and onions, a clove of finely chopped
garlic, all fried in cooking oil. I did the potatoes first to give them a
chance to cook through, then added the beef and veggies and cooked until
the peppers and onions were just starting to brown. Topped the whole thing
with a couple of fried eggs. Very nice breakfast.

That sounds very good! That is my idea of a 'hash'! Last week I followed
a recipe for corned beef hash. Now remember our corned beef is canned
The recipe was for onions, corned been and baked beans mixed through with
mashed potato on top!!! (( I won't be making that again.

Oh dear. Baked beans and mashed potato? No wonder you won't be making
that again.

When the boys were young, I made a recipe thus: mix a can of condensed tomato soup, not diluted
with about two cups of cooked GREEN beans and one pound of cooked ground beef, stirred until
all broken up and then top with a thick layer of mashed potatoes. Bake at 350 for 30 minutes.
It was surprisingly tasty.

It probably was tasty. But it in no way resembles roast beef hash.
Neither did what Ophelia made with the baked beans.

Well, that certainly is a surprise, and in return for reminding me of
my MIL's style of cooking here is one of her terrible recipes;

A panful of boiled drained macaroni
A can of condensed tomato soup, not diluted.
Bacon, chopped up

table spoonful of dried mixed herbs. Ideally, these should be so
ancient that they retain the texture of iron filings.

Add the soup and bacon to the macaroni, stir over heat until the
bacon fat goes rubbery; stir in the iron filings and serve.

* MIL would have made your recipe with her home made salted green
beans, which had always turned grey limp and slippery like slugs.

Tomato and green beans go wonderfully together, I can see where this
would be tasty.

I have never used soup in recipes. I often see a recipe I fancy but when I
look into it, it has soup and it puts me off.

Do you use soup in many dishes?

Surely you must've also made the old browned pork chops in mushroom soup with rice casserole? For extra fancy, I'd buy the GOLDEN mushroom soup. Man, I thought I was strictly gourmet then.

My grandmother and my mother (and occasionally I) cook ground beef &
make a gravy using the drippings and add just little water and lots of
salt & pepper. Served over mashed potatoes. There was no canned soup
involved. It's how they stretched a meal. Quite tasty, too!

Campbell's was at one time a good soup. They've changed it too much
over the years.

I agree. Campbell's chicken noodle, which used to be a comfort food of
mine, now has a strange metallic taste. The tomato soup is too sweet. I
have started buying Progresso soup now and again. While it is overpriced
for what you get, sometimes a grilled cheese and some soup to heat up is
what's for dinner.

I do freeze soup and chili, but sometimes those are gone, and a few cans
of soup on hand are supper insurance for hard days. I need to keep an
eye out for buy-one-get-one sales.

I blame Campbells for my lack in interest in soup. We used to come home
for lunch, which was often soup and sandwiches and almost always canned.
My mother was not a soup maker. Campbells was better than the
competition, but it just never rang bells for me. It took a lot of
fresh made soups in restaurants to make me appreciate that soup can be
good. Now I make a batch of soup every week or two.
