We've Got The County Covered
A friend told me that her sister made a very simple but wonderful casserole. She started by browning hamburger, adding a sliced up cabbage and tomato sauce. She baked that until bubbling and it was wonderful.
Last weekend I tried my version of that dish. Basically what I did was to add shredded cabbage to my hamburger/macaroni hot dish. It was very good and the shredded cabbage really added to it.
What you will need is:
- 1 pound of hamburger
- One onion diced
- 1 ½ cups dried macaroni prepared like the macaroni box says
- 2 14oz cans of whole tomatoes, cut into pieces and not drained
- 1 cup of beef broth
- ½ cup packed brown sugar
- ½ cup cheddar cheese shredded
- Lots of salt and pepper to taste
Sauté the meat in a tad of oil along with the diced onion. To that mixture add the rest of the ingredients but for the cheese. Bring to a boil and dump into a casserole dish which you should bake covered for 40 minutes at 350 or until it is bubbly. If you choose, sprinkle the top with cheese and cook another ten minutes uncovered to melt the cheese. Serve with a green salad and garlic bread for a very good taste treat!
Bon Appétit!
