Marilou’s Casserole
I’m sure when this recipe started out it had a proper name, but I have no idea what it is. I call it Marilou’s Casserole after my beloved late Aunt Marilou who was my second, and sometimes first mom growing up. She made it for us countless times during my childhood. This is grub…good old fashioned comfort food. It’s not pretty, but it’s warm, filling and delicious. Serve with a salad and some warm garlic bread and you have a feast fit for any cold winter night, or anytime you need some food love.
1 lb ground beef
1 28oz can crushed tomatoes
1 medium onion, chopped
1 green bell pepper, chopped
1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
1 tbsp ketchup
1 can cream of mushroom soup
1 ½ cup uncooked macaroni
2-3 cups shredded cheddar cheese
Brown ground beef, drain. Put back in pan, add the tomato, onion, bell pepper, Worcestershire, and ketchup, salt and pepper to taste. Bring to boil, then turn down heat to medium and let simmer for about 30 minutes.
Meanwhile, cook macaroni until done, pour into casserole dish, and mix with the cream of mushroom soup. Add in meat and sauce mixture, stir to combine and then top with the shredded cheese. Put into 350 degree oven for 30 min, or until mixture is bubbly and cheese is melted.

Oooh, that one sounds GOOD. Will definitely have to try. (But I’m leaving out the bell pepper, because I hate the taste of them.)
