Yankee Doodle Macaroni Recipes

Steps:

• Put cooked and drained macaroni in a 2 - 2 1/2 quart casserole dish.
• Add Ragu or other spaghetti sauce and mix well.
• Cover with a layer of American cheese slices.
• Bake until cheese is melted at 350°F for about 15-20 minutes.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400*. Set out a 13 x 9" baking dish. In a 12" nonstick skillet, heat the oil over medium heat. Stir in the carrots, onions, green pepper, and garlic. Saute for 5 minutes or until almost tender. Stir in the beef and pepper. Cook, stirring to break up the meat for 5 minutes or until the meat is no longer pink. Add the tomatoes and their puree, the oregano, and sugar; raise the heat to high and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat. Simmer, partially covered, for 25 minutes, stirring occasionally to break up tomatoes. Cook macaroni for 6 minutes. Drain, rinse, and drain again, then combine with the beef mixture and put in the baking dish. Sprinkle with the parsley and cheese and bake, uncovered, for 15 minutes or until the cheese melts and the mixture is bubbling hot.

Steps:

• Brown meat in skillet. Remove meat from skillet and cook onion, garlic, celery, green pepper, and macaroni in meat drippings until macaroni is golden. Return meat to skillet along with tomato sauce, water, parsley, salt, pepper, and worcestershire sauce. Cover and simmer 25 minutes or until macaroni is cooked to your taste. To serve, top with grated american cheese.
