1 package (12 ounces) large or jumbo macaroni shells
1 1/2 pounds ground beef
1/3 cup onions, finely chopped
3/4 cup ketchup
1 tablespoon prepared mustard
3/4 teaspoon chili powder
3/4 teaspoon garlic salt
CRISCO® Shortening for deep frying
Sweet pickle slices
Recipe
Cook macaroni shells as directed on package, using maximum cooking time. Drain; rinse with cold water. Arrange on paper towels to dry.
While macaroni is cooking, cook ground beef and onion in a large skillet until beef is browned and onion is tender. Drain off excess fat. Stir in catsup, mustard, chili powder, and garlic salt. Heat.
Heat Crisco to 365°F in a deep saucepan or deep fryer.
Fry several shells at a time for about 2 minutes or until golden; turn once during frying. Drain on paper towels.
As shells are fried, spoon about 1 tablespoon warm filling into each fried shell. Garnish with a sweet pickle slice. Serve warm.
