I don't know the origin of this recipe, but I've been making it for years, and it was always a family favorite. You can use as much, or as little, cheese as you like and any combination of cheese that suits you. I usually put parmesan down as my first layer, top that with shredded cheddar and then top that with some shredded mozzerella. (I like cheese). I have always used 1 1/2 cups of the dried elbows, 'cause I like my dish a little thicker. Enjoy. Ingredients:
2 tablespoons vegetable oil |
1 1/2 lbs ground beef |
2 medium onions, chopped |
1/2 medium green pepper, chopped (optional) |
1 (28 ounce) can tomatoes, undrained |
1 (12 ounce) can corn, undrained |
1 cup elbow macaroni, uncooked |
1 tablespoon chili powder |
2 teaspoons garlic salt |
4 -6 ounces shredded cheese, or |
4 -6 ounces shredded cheese, combination |
parmesan cheese, cheddar, mozzerella, etc |
Directions:
1. Saute ground beef in 12 skillet, until browned, drain most of grease. 2. Add onions and (peppers, if using ) cook 2 minutes. 3. Add tomatoes,with their liquid (break up tomatoes with fork or clean hands) and, corn with it's liquid and macaroni. 4. Heat to boiling and then reduce heat to medium/low. 5. Cover skillet and cook 20-30 minutes until macaroni is tender. (may need to stir occassionally). 6. Stir in chili powder and garlic salt, blend well. 7. Top with cheese, or cheeses, heat covered for about 5 minutes, or until. 8. cheese is melted. 9. Note: May use garlic powder instead of garlic salt, and then just add salt to taste. If dish seems a little dry as it cooks, may add additional water. |
