Hamburger Surprise

This recipe is from my little hometown cookbook.  What I am excited about is having a new Cheater-Pants Meal!  This was 20 min from "We'll have that." to "Come and get it!" And I keep these things on hand. The kids ate it with gusto, a win/winner!

Hamburger Surprise
1 lb. ground beef
1/2 c. chopped onion
1/2 c. chopped green pepper
1 clove garlic, minced
salt and pepper to taste
Brown together.  Add
2 cans cream of mushroom soup
1 soup can of water
Stir and heat through.  Serve over rice.

Notes:  The original recipe has you make a mixture of the hamburger ingredients and form them into small meatballs, brown, then simmer with the soup.  That would make for a nicer presentation, but I was in a hurry.  Start the rice first and everything else will be ready about the same time.  We ate it with steamed carrots and applesauce.
