That recipe was numbered <2000 in my MM database so it was collected
early days. I've never made it since even a 9# ham would be overkill
for my household.

Also, "Servings" is just a "guesstimate" at the best of times. Maybe
the editors/writers at Southern Living aren't eager eaters.

Heck, we once had a regular poster who was well known for using "3" for
the number of servings .... even when it was patently obvious that was a
specious number.

     Title: Hoosier Supper
Categories: Beef, Vegetables, Casseroles, Cheese, Rice
     Yield: 3 Servings

     1 lb Ground beef
   1/2 c  Bell pepper; chopped
   1/2 c  Celery; chopped
     1 cl Garlic
     2 c  Eggplant; diced
     2 tb Parsley
     1 c  Uncooked rice
     1    Envelope of onion soup mix

   1/2 c  Parmesan cheese
     2 tb Butter; melted
          Salt and pepper

 Brown the beef; drain excess fat. Add green pepper,
 celery and garlic. Saute until tender. Stir in salt
 and pepper, eggplant (my favorite), parsley, rice,
 oregano, soup mix, tomato paste and water. Bring to a
 boil; cover and simmer for 20 minutes. Pour into
 greased casserole or baking pan. Sprinkle with mixed
 bread crumbs, Parmesan cheese and butter. Top with
 ripe olives.

 Bake at 450ºF/232ºC for 15 minutes.

 I usually omit the olives. -- Randy Rigg
