1 onion 2-3 cloves of garlic 1 tablespoon olive oil 1 lb. ground beef 1 pkg. elbow noodles 2 cans stewed tomatoes 2 tbsp. Worcestershire sauce Dice the onion; crush a few cloves of garlic, and sauté in a deep saucepan along with a tablespoon of olive oil over medium-high heat. Boil water and cook 1 lb. elbow noodles according to package directions. Stir the onion mixture for several minutes or until the onion is soft and translucent. Add ground beef to the onion mixture. Stir well, breaking apart the beef. Continue to sauté for about 5 minutes, or until the beef is fully cooked. Season to taste with salt and pepper, or a teaspoon or two of ground cumin, if desired. Empty the two cans of stewed tomatoes into the beef-onion mix; follow immediately with two tablespoon of Worcestershire sauce. Let simmer 5 minutes, or until your elbow noodles are done. Drain the elbows, and combine the sauce and noodles in whichever pan is larger. Mix well and let set for a few minutes, so "the flavors will marry," as my mother says. Serve while hot, with some grated cheese. This recipe dedicated to my eastern PA + NJ homies. Submitted by: Peter Johnstone | |

recipe reviewsI did have to add a can of chopped tomatoes to your recipe to add more tomato flavor.
It was really good served with crusty baguette bread and salad and I enough left over for 3 more meals! Just for one person, so this recipe is good for 4 meals for me.
Thanks.
I grew up eating this and each of the elder women in my family had their own variations, but my family always used 1# box of Creamettes large macaroni for this recipe. My great-grandma put diced pepperoncini peppers in it and as she stirred the pasta she would drizzle the liquid from the peppers onto the macaroni and would let them set for a few minutes then mix it all together prior to serving... My mother added canned mixed veggies (not my favorite), my grandma would serve it over macaroni with chopped cauliflower mixed in as she said the noodles were mushy once reheated!I make it with TVP (meat substitute) or ground turkey instead of ground beef, I usually use either Italian or Spanish seasoned stewed tomatoes (sprinkled with taco blend shredded cheese for the Mexican version).. Try it!
