Hmm...cookbooks or internet.
Hamburger Patty Casserole materialized on the monitor from cooks.com.
Four hamburger patties -(Only three patties!)
One cup of rice -
(had rice in the cupboard)
One can of mushroom soup - (oops...no mushroom soup)
Salt and pepper to taste. (not a problem!)
Substitutions to the rescue!
1. Make four patties out of three.
2. A 'sort of' mushroom soup from:
2/3 cup of chicken broth
1/2 cup of plain greek yogurt
1/4 cup of milk (soy milk used)
Sliced ~ mushrooms, celery, asparagus rounds
Onion salt
Preparation according to my rules!
Sautee vegetables in butter
Brown patties on both sides.
Mix yogurt, milk and chicken broth
Add ‘soup’ and rice to vegetables.
Grease casserole dish lightly
Place patties on the bottom. (recipe: patties on top!)
Cover with rice, ‘soup’, and veggie mixture.
Bake uncovered at 350 degrees for 1 hour.
After an hour - (here's another addition to the 'recipe')
sprinkle shredded cheese on top
keep under the broiler just till the cheese bubbles.
Servings : For just me - five small meals (three in the freezer!)
Cost: Not a cent from today’s money.
Calories: oh gosh darn - I forgot to count them
Enjoy!

Is any of this new for me or for anyone else?
Very likely not.
However some may not pay attention to
abundance
creative abilities
problem solving skills and
opportunities.
Necessity has long been touted as the mother of invention but,
when there is no necessity do we stop inventing or creating?
