*ingredients:
°1/2 pound pasta
°1 1/2 pounds minced meat
°1 large onion, diced
°Garlic salt, pepper, chili powder and hot sauce to taste
°2 cans (14.5 ounces) whole, undrained, stewed tomatoes
°2 tablespoons of ketchup
°Tomato juice as needed
*How to make :
Cook pasta according to package directions. While cooking, brown the ground beef and onions together in an extra-large skillet or casserole dish.
Strain and season with spices as desired. In a large bowl, mash the tomatoes with a potato masher and add to the beef with the ketchup. Drain the pasta and add to the meat mixture, stirring well. Taste and add additional seasonings as needed.
I didn't need to add any tomato juice to my tomato juice, but if you like your juice extra, you can add as much tomato juice as you like. Phyllis adds it to her leftovers which I also recommend since pasta tends to absorb all the juice over time.
Enjoy !
