Recipe Introduction


This recipe serves 20!! I usually halve this recipe and put it in 2-8x8" pans. I freeze one, and prepare the 2nd for dinner.



List of Ingredients




2 1/2 lb hamburger
2 large onions, chopped
3 stalks celery & leaves, chopped
3 large carrots, grated
2 (3oz) cans Italian-style diced tomatoes
2 tsp salt
1 1/2 tsp oregano
1 tsp pepper
1 tsp garlic powder (I used 1/2 tsp minced garlic for my half recipe)
24 oz macaroni (I used 10 oz wide egg noodles for my half recipe)
2 pkgs frozen spinach, thawed not drained
1-30oz jar spaghetti sauce

Recipe




Brown ground beef in dutch oven; drain. Return to pan; add onion, celery, and carrots. Cook 5 minutes. Stir in tomatoes, salt, oregano, pepper, garlic, and spaghetti sauce. Bring to a boil, then simmer covered 1 hour.

Cook noodles according to directions and set aside.

After sauce is done, stir in pasta and spinach. Mix thoroughly. Put in (2) 9x13" pans, and sprinkle with enough parmesan to cover. Cover, label, and freeze.

To serve, thaw completely and bake at 350°F for 30 minutes.
