Cheeseburger Casserole

Sometimes, the weirdest sounding dishes become favorites.  I created this recipe a few weeks ago because my hubby requested cheeseburgers, and well, it was below freezing outside.  So I crafted this, and he loved it!  He requested again for the night he finished finals (he made all A's by the way!  So proud of him!!!).

 

{Cheeseburger Casserole}

 

{Just a few simple ingredients}

 

{Brown beef--you want a fattier beef because you'll be making a roux}

 

{Add evaporated milk to make the sauce}

 

{Yes--you add ketchup, mustard, and relish/pickles}

 

{Can't forget the cheese!}

 

{Top with French fries}

 

{Then top with more cheese!}

Since it's the end of the year, I've been doing some reflecting, thinking, and dreaming.  I have tried to stray away from making resolutions, focusing more on making goals I'd like to achieve by the end of the year.  I break it down month by month so that way I stay on track, and big goals don't seem so unachievable!  I also have the goals in front of me every day so that I don't forget them by March (I was guilty of it too!)!

Do you have any end-of-the-year rituals like goal-setting?
