Old Fashion Ground Beef and Hamburger Recipes
There was a time when moms cooked our supper every night. 

When Moms made sure we ate our vegetables, washed behind our ears, and brushed our teeth.

Time when moms were happy to stay home, when, in retrospect, the world seemed an innocent place.  Easier and safer then it is today.

Mothers everywhere selected hamburger as their favorite meat choice.  The most versatile of all meats.  Fried, baked, broiled, or cooked over open flames, the American mom was in love with hamburger.

Here are some of those recipes collected from the stove top tin recipe boxes of the 50's, 60's, and 70's.  Our now vintage past.
