Since no one has ever posted to this section, I guess I'll take the honors.
This is a favorite recipe in my family, and my own invention. It was invented on-the-fly to accomodate several unexpected guests with just the stuff I happened to have on hand.
2 lbs ground beef
About 1 cup (altogether) of finely chopped cookable veggies* (we like onions, bell peppers, broccolli flourets, and celery)
1 pkg of stuffing mix (I like the Stove Top kind, with the seperate seasoning bag)
1 can cream of celery soup (cream of mushroom is good, too, but my kids don't like it)
2 tablespoons of steak sauce
Make the ground beef into fairly large patties. Flatten the patty out as far as possible, then push the center down into your palm to make a cup shape.
Fill the 'cup' with a small amount of the stuffing mix, and a small amount of each of the veggies. Then fold the edges of the patty inward, so you can seal it into a stuffed ball. If you want, press an onion ring or a slice of mushroom or something into the top of the ball for a garnish.
In a large oven-safe dish, mix the mushroom soup (undiluted) and the steak sauce. If your stuffing mix has a seperate seasoning packet, add it to the soup mixture.
Arrange the stuffed balls into a single layer in the soup -leave a little space between them so they'll be evenly cooked.
Bake at 350 F for about 45 minutes.
Enjoy!
*Some of those frozen mixes with the veggies and beans and such are good, too.
