American Chop Suey Just Like Mama Used To Make Recipes

Steps:

• 1. In large saucepan, I use my cast iron fry pan, coat with a little olive oil, add hamburg and chop it all up on medium heat. While that is cooking cut up your peppers, onion and zucchini and celery. Drain fat from pan and add your peppers and onions to hamburg and fry them lightly, then add 1 cup of water and your zucchini and celery pushing them down into the water to simmer.
• 2. When tender add tomato paste and seasonings and stir to mix all together.
• 3. Add your cooked elbow macaroni and 1 cup of water that you cooked the elbows in. I cover and let simmer to combine all flavors. When all is tender and combined, remove cover. Mix all well and add your Parmesan cheese and a little sugar to reduce acid. At this point I always put 1 Tablespoon of butter in as it makes the sauce smooth and silky. Before serving I sometimes sprinkle grated cheese on top as well. Muncha
