I got this recipe from my 9th grade home economics teacher. It is a great comfort food for those cold winter nights when summer fun seems so far away. I decided to post this because my daughter has fond memories, but her version is way different from mine. Ingredients:
1 tablespoon vegetable oil |
1/2 lb hot dog |
1 lb ground beef |
2 (8 ounce) cans tomato sauce with herbs |
1/2 cup green olives, sliced |
1/2 lb sharp cheddar cheese, grated |
2 cups cooked elbow macaroni |
salt and pepper |
1/4 cup olive, sliced for garnish |
Directions:
1. Slice hotdogs on the diagonal. Heat the oil in a large skillet. Add the hotdogs and brown on all sides, turning frequently.
2. Remove and set aside.
3. Add the beef and stir until browned. Drain off excess fat.
4. Stir in browned hotdogs,tomato sauce and 1/2 cup green olives. Add the cooked macaroni and toss to combine. {I mix in a liitle extra cheese.} Season to taste.
5. Turn into a 2 quart casserole dish, sprinkle cheese around the edges.
6. Bake at 350 degrees for 40 minutes, uncovered.
7. Ganish with sliced olives and serve.
