Source of Recipe

My mother


Recipe Introduction

I grew up eating this, and it never really had a name, so I lovingly named it "Gertie's Goop" after my mother...Gertrude.

List of Ingredients

2 lbs. hamburger meat
1 medium onion (chopped)
3 cloves garlic (chopped)
1 bell pepper (chopped)
1 cup celery (chopped)
3 bay leaves
salt and pepper to taste
1 29-oz. can crushed tomatoes
2 beef boullion cubes

1-1/2 cups rice
1 package corn tortillas


Recipe

Brown hamburger meat and drain. Add vegetables and cook until they are tender. Add a large can tomatoes (29 oz.). Add 2 beef boullion cubes and simmer on low.

In the meantime, cook rice and add it to the meat mixture and remove the bay leaves. Serve this on warm tortillas.
