Italian Delight image

One dish, kid lovin' ground beef, pasta, tomato casserole. This dish is tasty, easy to prepare with a minimum of effort, inexpensive and my 39 year son still requests it for dinner. He's getting married and I'm giving his fiance' a copy of the recipe. Maybe 25 years ago I was home from surgery and my bible study group brought dinners and this was one of them. It was #1 and I got the recipe. It's been a family favorite since.

Time 35m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 lb lean ground beef
1 (15 ounce) can tomato sauce
1 (10 3/4 ounce) can tomato soup (do not dilute)
1 (15 ounce) can corn, drained
1 (15 ounce) can diced tomatoes, drained, save juice to add later to casserole as it simmers
8 ounces pasta, such as macaroni, flat noodles, tube, sea shell, etc
3 tablespoons dried onion
2 teaspoons onion powder
2 teaspoons garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon cracked black pepper
1/4 teaspoon oregano
1/8 teaspoon chili powder
1/2 teaspoon cumin

Steps:

  • Brown ground beef in a large frying pan and drain well. Place back in pan, then all the ingredients, except the noodles. Mix well, cover and simmer.
  • While preparing the above, cook the noodles al dente, drain well and add to the meat mixture. Save the noodle water as you will need to add liquid to the casserole as it cooks down, but use the saved diced tomato juice first. I add garlic powder to the noodle water, while cooking, to flavor the water.
  • Add noodles.
  • Cook on low-to-simmer for about 15-20 minutes. Check often and stir. Add tomato juice/noodle liquid, as needed. It can get too thick.

I'm not a big fan of chicken, but this dish was so good that I didn't even mind. The sauce was amazing.

I'm not sure if I made a mistake, but my dish ended up being really spicy. I guess I added too much chili flakes.

This dish was a good starting point, but I think I'll experiment with different ingredients and flavors next time.

I would have liked this dish more if the sauce had been thicker. It was a little too watery for my taste.

Overall, I thought this dish was just okay. It wasn't bad, but it wasn't anything special either.

This recipe was a little too complicated for me. I think I'll stick to simpler Italian dishes in the future.

This dish was way too salty for my taste. I had to add a lot of water to the sauce to make it palatable.

I'm not sure what went wrong, but my dish didn't turn out as good as I expected. The sauce was too bland and the chicken was dry.

I'm not a huge fan of Italian food, but this dish was actually really good. The sauce was flavorful and the chicken was tender. I'd definitely make this again.
