"As I ate the oysters with their strong taste of the sea and their faint metallic taste that the cold white wine washed away, leaving only the sea taste and the succulent texture, and as I drank their cold liquid from each shell and washed it down with the crisp taste of the wine, I lost the empty feeling and began to be happy, and to make plans."--Ernest Hemingway

Personal Notes:
This was not my grandma's recipe, but I got it from Eleanor Ostman, who had a column in the Pioneer Press. Ken really likes this, so I have started making it regularly.

When I use ground beef that is 85-15 rather than extra lean, I drain the grease after browning the ground beef and before adding the seasonings.
