Mexican Meat Mix

This is a recipe that I received from a friend, Donna A. It is very versatile and delicious! We like to serve it with flour tortillas for burritos or quesadillas or corn tostada shells for tostadas or a green salad for taco salad. Perfect!

Donna's Mexican Meat Mix

1 pound hamburger
onion powder
garlic powder
salt and pepper
Wolf style chili without beans
Ranch style beans

Brown the hamburger and season to taste. Add the cans of chili and beans. (I never have figured out why the recipe says to use chili without beans and then add a can of beans. Crazy!)

Serve on nachos, taco salad, tacos, tostadas, burritos or in a mexican casserole.

"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.
