PESKY BEEF AND MACARONI 
1 oz. pkg. elbow macaroni
2-3 tbsp. butter
12 green onion, diced
1 lb. ground beef
1 tsp. seasoned salt
1/2 tsp. pepper
1 (16 oz.) can stewed tomatoes
2/3 c. chili sauce
1 can ripe olives, drained & sliced
1 c. cheddar cheese, shredded

Preheat oven to 375 degrees. While you cook the macaroni according to directions, melt the butter in a deep heavy skillet. Saute onions about 5 minutes, under cover. Add ground beef, broken up and sprinkle with seasoned salt and pepper. Continue cooking until beef is brown.

Grease a 2 quart baking dish. Add the stewed tomatoes, chili sauce and olives to meat mixture. Let it heat through. By now, macaroni should be cooked and drained. Pour half meat mixture into the baking dish, cover with half the macaroni and sprinkle with half the cheese. Repeat the layers and dot with a little butter if desired. Bake for 15 minutes. Serves 6.

I have been making this for many years. One thing different I do is to just add the cooked macaroni (error in the above recipe, "1 oz pkg macaroni" nooooo, try 1-3/4 up to 2 cup dry) to the skillet mixture, simmer on low for 15 minutes or so and sprinkle on the shredded cheese during the last 5 minutes. Every bit as good and less fuss and muss.
