Johnny Marzetti Recipe

ingredients

2 PKGS. shell or Elbow Macaroni
2 LBS. Ground Beef, seasoned and browned
1 C chopped green pepper
1 C chopped yellow onion
1 C sliced Mushrooms, lightly sautéed - I use 1 jar of sliced mushrooms drained
3 C grated sharp cheddar cheese
1 Can tomato sauce with bits (When I can’t find this, I use 1/2 can Italian tomato sauce and 1/2 can regular tomato sauce)
2 CANS tomato soup

1
Cook macaroni according to directions.
2
Brown and season ground beef. I season my ground beef with salt and fajita seasoning. Sometimes you can find Taco Bell fajita seasoning mix.
3
To the sautéed mushrooms add the chopped green pepper and chopped onion, and then add the tomato sauce and the tomato soup.
4
After this mixture has been warmed, add the browned and seasoned ground beef, then the macaroni.
5
Place this mixture in a casserole and top with the cheese.
6
Bake at 300 degrees for first 1/2 hour, then 375 degrees for the last 1/2 hour.
