3 tbsp. shortening
1 c. chopped celery
2 c. diced carrots
1 c. water
3 tsp. salt
1/2 tsp. chili powder
1 c. chopped onion
1 lb. hamburger
1 (#2 1/2) can canned tomatoes or 1 qt. home canned
1 tbsp. Worcestershire sauce
1 (8 oz.) pkg. egg noodles

In large skillet, melt shortening. Add onion and celery, saute 5 minutes. Add hamburger and brown. Add remaining ingredients, including uncooked noodles. Mix thoroughly. Cover skillet, simmer over low heat 40 minutes. Stir occasionally until noodles are tender. Makes 4 to 6 servings. I use my 12 inch electric skillet for this.
