INGREDIENTS
·
1
1/2 pounds lean ground beef
·
1
large onion, diced
·
1
tablespoon canola oil
·
salt,
to taste
·
pepper
to taste
·
1/2
teaspoon oregano
·
2
cloves chopped garlic
·
1/2
teaspoon paprika
·
one
28-ounce can pureed tomatoes, or your favorite sauce
·
16
ounce box macaroni noodles
·
1/2
cup each grated cheddar and mozzarella cheeses
INSTRUCTIONS
1. Sweat
the onions in the oil with a three-fingered pinch of salt. Add the beef and
cook it, breaking it up as you do. Add another three-fingered pinch of salt or
two, along with the dry seasonings. Add the tomatoes and bring to a simmer,
then reduce the heat to low and cook for an hour.
2.
Cook
the macaroni in boiling water till it’s half done. Drain it and add it to the
tomatoes. (I wanted this to stretch into two meals, so I used the whole box,
but if you want your dish to be very tomatoey and beefy, you might want to add
only half the macaroni). Stir it into the sauce. Taste it and add cheese and
cover or transfer it to a large baking dish and cover it with foil. It can be
refrigerated for up to two days, or frozen a few weeks.
3. If
refrigerated bake it in a 400 degree oven till it’s piping hot (about 45 minutes
if it’s cold to room temperature). Just before you’re ready to eat, remove the
foil, cover macaroni with the cheese and broil till the cheese is bubbly.
