Recipe Introduction
"This one is quick, simple, freezes pretty well, and is a LOT better than the name implies." :-)
List of Ingredients
1 lb ground beef
10 oz frozen peas -- thawed*
1 can cream of mushroom soup, condensed
1 med onion -- chopped
1/2 tsp minced garlic
salt and pepper
6 oz egg noodles -- cooked and drained
Recipe
Brown ground beef with onion and garlic. Drain. Rinse off accumulated grease. (Can also use ground turkey, chicken, etc.)
Return to skillet. Add peas, soup, and noodles. Salt and pepper to taste. Thin with milk if necessary.
*You can also use a can of peas, drained
Serves 6-8, depending on appetite.
TO FREEZE: Do not add noodles. Freeze the meat-pea-soup mixture. Thaw in refrigerator overnight. Put in saucepan. Stir in cooked egg noodles. (6 oz. is the size bag I buy. If you're heating up 1/2 recipe, use 3 oz., etc.) Season to taste. Thin with milk if necessary (it probably will be).

NOTES : This recipe is a staple of my childhood. When I was a kid, my mother often found herself trying to come up with something using the items in her pantry--especially at the end of the month, right before payday!
She threw this together one night, and it was a hit. When we asked her what it was, she had no idea...."I don't know, just some gook."
The name stuck, much to the dismay of any non-family member who was served it!
