Meet the Cook: For a seniors potluck at church, I wanted to create a recipe that would incorporate a meat dish and side dish in one. This casserole proved to be a crowd-pleaser, and I was asked by many to share my recipe. -Jo Ann Fritzler, Belen, New Mexico

2 eggs
3/4 cup crushed saltines (about 20 crackers)
6 to 8 garlic cloves, minced
2 teaspoons salt, divided

1 pound lean ground beef
1 can (10-3/4 ounces) condensed cream of chicken soup, undiluted

My family loved this no leftovers. Like cheesy potatoes with the addition of meatballs.

I took a pkg. of ground beef out of the freezer this AM and immediately came to the computer to go online with TOH for "HELP". I don't think I could pay my grand kids to eat another bite of spaghetti and a meatloaf just didn't provide the bells and whistles I was looking for. TOH and their miracle workers who provide us with great recipes have never failed me. This is on tonights menu and is safely saved in my recipe box. Thanks TOH and especially JoAnn for sharing!

IL take a lot of potluck items to church. This sounds great but I would brown the meatballs in my steamer in the microwave to make them almost fat free. I might also make meatballs from ground turkey to cut down on fat.
