Cheese- Hamburgers

I was looking through one of those church cook books. This one was from 1981. And Cheese- Hamburgers caught my eye. I figured that it would be a fancy burger with all sorts chopped up stuff circa 1981. I read the recipe and it turns out to be what I call sloppy joe's. Then I noticed that it was my Grandma Beckman that submitted the recipe. I remember my mom trying to force me to eat sloppy joe's, but I have no idea if this is the recipe she used, or if it came out of a can. I don't remember her putting cheese on it though, if she had, I probably would have eaten it.

2 lbs. ground beef
1 c chopped onions
1 green pepper, chopped
small celery stalk, chopped
16oz tomato soup
Season to taste
American Cheese slices
Hamburger Buns

Fry meat until slightly browned. Add seasoning. Add the onion, pepper, celery, and soup. Place in a double boiler and cook 1-1/2 hours. Butter buns. Put a slice of cheese on one half, heat to melt cheese, then fill the buns with the meat mixture and serve.


I imagine that the seasoning she is talking about is salt and pepper? I don't know. But I think I will try it with taco seasoning and see what happens. Maybe give it a little more flavor.
