This is the dish called many different things by many different people: "Macaroni and beef," "American ChopSuey," "Hungarian Goulash." I call it comfort.
If you have ever tried getting a recipe from your beloved grandmother, you will know that this is the best i could do, and will add/subtract as you see fit. The V-8 and butter are key, though)
Ingredients
- 1 cup macaroni
- 1 lb. hamburger
- 1 medium onion
- 1 12 oz. can V-8 juice
- 1 can Contadina Italian style stewed tomatoes
- 1/2 stick butter(grandmother denies saying this, but darn it all, I know she did)
- Parmesan cheese(not the good kind, the dry-in-the-shaker kind)
Directions
- Cook macaroni; set aside
- Brown hamburger; drain
- Sautee onion
- Combine all ingredients except butter, and let simmer for a bit
- Add butter before serving
- Serve with fake parmesan cheese, and, in keeping with good country eaters, about half a pound of salt.
- Must be accompanied by canned green beans and homemade bread slathered with butter. Hey, I survived, didn't I?
