Kathy Baldwin, Vic Baldwin, Recipe #5

Ingredients:
1 lb. hamburger – browned
Add 1/3 cup onions to the hamburger when hamburger is partially browned (the onions don't take as long to brown as the hamburger).

In a 3-quart saucepan boil water – 1 to 1 ½ quarts
Add 1 to 1 ½ cups elbow macaroni when it starts to boil
Boil until tender (macaroni doubles when cooked completely)

In a smaller saucepan make the sauce:
1 can of tomato sauce
1 can stewed tomatoes (can be diced with green peppers or whole – if whole you will need to dice them)
!/2 to 1 cup catsup (as per your own taste)
½ to 1 cup salsa (as per your own taste)
1 to 2 TBS. dry spaghetti seasoning (can be in foil packet or bottle)
Rinse out catsup bottles, salsa bottles, etc. – go easy on how much water you add.
Bring to boil and then simmer until noodles are done.

When all the above are done, pour them together and add 2 cups corn (can be frozen or from a can – but drain the water off first). It is ready to eat. About 8-10 servings.

Vic's mother used to make this – she used more catsup and less salsa than I do. No one bothered to get her recipe so we don't know for sure exactly what she put in it (we wish we had). I used to double this when all the kids were home – it lasted 2 meals.
