Or at least, one of many versions! I had a little leftover ground beef... (does anyone pickup on how many dishes I prepare that start with the word "leftover"?)! With the weather being cooler, a combo of macaroni, seasoned ground beef, chopped celery, chopped onion, a can of diced tomatoes, V-8 juice, chili powder, salt, pepper,and cheese- I could create a flavorful supper for an overcast Fall day! Browned the beef, with onions and celery- all seasoned, then added diced tomatoes undrained, and the dry macaroni pasta. Simmered for about 12 minutes, added Nerd cheese(American processed-melts like mad!- and don't pretend you don't use this stuff either..) some salsa right out of the jar, and poured into casserole dish. I topped it with cheddar cheese, Romano, and Parmesan, then baked in oven for 20 minutes until cheese toppings were bubbling.. Hope you like it, because it tasted great! Oh yeah, that brownie looking thing is a little from scratch creation of mine, featuring brown sugar, dried cranberries, creamery butter, sliced almonds, semi sweet chocolate chips- tied together with flour,eggs, baking soda, salt, water.. you know, brownie stuff! Next post will be my 300th! Probably a Mini-meme...
