My mother’s recipe for her famous Chocolate Tang Beef Casserole
1 lb ground beef
3 Cups orange flavored Tang
2 Cups chocolate syrup
1/2 Cup pureed anchovies
2/3 Teaspoons butter
Preheat oven to 400◦
Melt butter in a skillet and sauté Tang, beef and chocolate syrup for fifteen minutes, then place in casserole dish. Blend anchovies until smooth and smear on top of casserole. Bake for thirty minutes, then let set for ten.
Mother used to serve this on cold Winter nights. We’d all sit around, commenting on our day and trying to impress father with our gopher impersonations. Mother’s cooking will always have a special place in my heart and my lower intestinal tract, but that’s another story entirely. I hope this recipe becomes as beloved to you as it is to me and maybe one of these days I’ll post Mother’s onion lemon brownies. Yum!:)
