Categories: Cheese Hamburger Main dish Meats Vegetable
Servings: 7

2 lb Lean Ground Beef
1 c Onion; Chopped, 1 Lg
1 c Cracked Wheat; Uncooked
2 c Tomato; Fresh, Chopped, 2 Md
2 c Water
2 t Beef Bouillon; Instant
1 1/2 t Salt
1/2 t Oregano Leaves
1/4 t Minced Garlic; Instant
1/4 t Pepper
1/2 c Parmesan Cheese; Grated
3 tb Parsley; Snipped

Cook and stir the meat and onion in a large skillet
until the meat is brown. Drain off the excess fat.
Stir in the remaining ingredients except the grated
Parmesan Cheese. Heat to boiling then reduce the heat
and simmer, covered, stirring occasionally, until the
wheat is tender, about 30 minutes. (A small amount of
water can be added if necessary.) Stir in the cheese
and garnish with additional snipped parsley and/or
Parmesan Cheese. NOTE:
The nutlike texture of cracked wheat reminds one of
brown rice, in fact, it is cooked and used in the same
way.
