Creamed Tacos

This recipe has been in our family so long that I can barely read it on the recipe card. It says that it is from Aunt Carma Brinkerhoff DeWitt King, Dad's sister. So, that means that it is a delicious Arizona mexican dish.

Creamed Tacos

1 can cream of chicken soup
1 can cream of mushroom soup
1/2 cup milk
1 can chopped green chilies
1 pound hamburger
salt
pepper
garlic salt
onion salt
1 dozen tortillas
Grated cheddar cheese

Mix soups, milk and green chilies together. Brown hamburger and season to taste. Layer meat, tortillas, meat cheese, repeat the layers again, ending with extra cheese on top. Bake at 350 degrees for 30 minutes.

"Saying Grace" by Norman Rockwell

This painting was created for the cover of The Saturday Evening Post’s 1951 Thanksgiving issue. It portrays a woman and a young boy saying grace in a crowded restaurant while the people around them glance in their direction. Rockwell was inspired to create this artwork by a reader of the magazine who saw a Mennonite family praying in a restaurant.

In 1955, the readers of The Saturday Evening Post voted Saying Grace as their favorite ever cover. The painting was sold for $46 million in an auction at Sotheby’s in December 2013. At that time, it set the record for the most expensive American painting ever sold at auction. The $46 million paid for Saying Grace remains the highest known price paid for a Norman Rockwell artwork.
