This old recipe was clipped from a newspaper and pasted onto an index card, date unknown. It’s quite stained from use so it must have been a favorite! I’ve typed it below along with a scanned copy.

1/4 lb. dried beef, shredded
1 medium onion, minced

If cooking on electric stove, place butter in vapor – seal skillet on 8 – inch burner. Add shredded beef and onion. Brown slightly. Add remaining ingredients. Cover. As soon as steam escapes freely, turn burner off and let skillet set on burner (without disturbing lid) 50 minutes. If cooking on gas stove, assemble as directed but simmer gently until noodles are tender.
