Ingredients

  • 2 1/2 lb ground meat (i say meat because i use a 50-50 blend of beef and venison ground meat)
  • 2 can campbells cheddar cheese soup
  • 1 can campbells garlic cream of mushroom soup.
  • 1 can sliced mushrooms (large can not the half can)
  • 1/2 quart sliced dill pickles
  • 1 can diced tomato

Method

  • Cook ground meat, and can of mushrooms, but season it to taste like you would a burger.
  • While the ground meat is cooking, start your soups in a large pot, mix in two cans cheddar, and one can cream of mushroom, and three cans of water (milk changes the flavor too much for me, you can use 2 cans of it in place of the water as directed on the cheese soup if you like)
  • Next open and drain the diced tomato.
  • Take the 1/2 jar of pickles and give them a bath in a bowl of hot water.
  • Drain and rinse a few times while the soup is thinning out and the meat is cooking.
  • This will dilute the strong taste of the pickles and prevent it from overpowering the other flavors when added to the soup.
  • Chop the pickles before adding them.
  • When the meat is done strain off any grease using a colander lined with paper towel.
  • Then add it to the soup along with the diced tomato, and pickle.
  • Simmer on low for about a half hour or until the pickles soften.
