    Primary skillet dinner

    primary skillet dinner-my sister in law got this out of the Friend magazine way back in the day. Made it tonight for the first time and loved it.
    1 pound of ground beef
    1/2 onion finely chopped
    4-6 carrots
    4 medium sized potatos thinly sliced
    1/3 head of cabbage thinly sliced (about 4 cups)
    can of cream of mushroom soup
    1 cup of cheese
    dash of salt
    seasoning salt

    Pat ground beef in to the bottom of a cold skillet and pat onions on top of the meat. Layer rest of the veggies on top. Add seasoning. Top with a can of cream of mushroom soup and spread to the edges. Cook on medium/low for 30 to 40 minutes. Add cheese when veggies are just barely soft. Cook till cheese is melted. Yum!
