Recipe Introduction
Posted by: NavyGrammyTX
List of Ingredients
1 lb. lean ground beef
1 small onion, diced
1 clove garlic, minced
1 (16 oz.) can tomato sauce
1 cup uncooked elbow macaroni
1 (15 oz.) can Ranch-Style beans (chili beans)
2 cups water
½ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon pepper
2 cups grated cheese (Cheddar or Colby/Jack)
Recipe
In a large skillet, lightly brown meat; add onions and cook until onions are tender and meat is no longer pink. Add tomato sauce and water. Bring to a boil and add macaroni. Cook until mixture is thickened. Cover and simmer until set like pudding. Stir in beans, salt and pepper. Turn into a casserole dish and cover with cheese. Put in a low oven (250°) until cheese melts.
You may vary this dish by using egg noodles or substituting stewed tomatoes for the tomato sauce. Just be sure the liquid content remains in proportion. You may also add a package of taco seasoning.
Another variation: Omit the beans, substitute jarred spaghetti sauce for the tomato sauce and add a package of spaghetti seasoning mix. Top with shredded mozzarella and parmesan cheese.
