American Chop Suey with a chunky meat sauce, garlic, oregano and lots of flavor. Not bland like Mom used to make, but simple enough that my whole family gobbles it up. Very quick and easy to make for a great weeknight dinner. Add salad and bread, good to go. A healthy sprinkling of GOOD parmesan cheese is a must! Ingredients:
1 lb lean ground beef |
1 small onion, finely diced |
3 garlic cloves, crushed |
1 (28 ounce) can pastene ground peeled tomatoes (no substitutes) |
1/2 cup water |
2 teaspoons dried oregano |
1 teaspoon dried basil |
3 teaspoons sugar |
3/4 teaspoon salt |
1/2 teaspoon black pepper |
1/2 lb uncooked elbow macaroni |
parmesan cheese |
Directions:
1. In large skillet over medium-high heat, brown ground beef with onion and 1 clove garlic; drain.
2. Add oregano, basil, salt, pepper, and rest of garlic; mix into beef. Return to heat, add tomatoes, water and sugar, stir to mix well. Heat till slightly bubbly, then cover and reduce heat to low. Simmer for 30-60 minutes, stirring occasionally.
3. Meanwhile, cook elbows according to package directions.
4. Mix drained elbows into sauce in skillet and sprinkle generously with a good quality parmesan cheese.
