Karen Duffy
1 ½ lb. hamburger
1 egg
¾ t. salt
¾ c. grated cheese
2 T. Worcestershire sauce
½ t. pepper
3 T. catsup
¼ c. onion

Mix together all ingredients (except bacon). Shape into patties, wrap bacon slice around each patty and secure with toothpick. Grill or broil. When I grill these, I put aluminum foil underneath because they are messy (but oh, so good)!!!

Cook Time: 1 hour 55 minutes
Yield: 10 servings
2 cups canned diced tomatoes
2 cups tomato sauce
1 cup water
1/2 cup diced onion
1/2 cup diced green bell pepper
2 cloves garlic, chopped
1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley leaves
1 1/2 teaspoons Italian seasoning
1 1/2 teaspoons House Seasoning, recipe follows
1 1/2 teaspoons seasoning salt
1 1/2 teaspoons sugar
2 small bay leaves
1 1/2 pounds ground beef
8 ounces uncooked angel hair pasta
1 cup grated cheddar
1 cup grated Monterey Jack
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
In a stockpot, combine the tomatoes, tomato sauce, water, onions, peppers,
garlic, parsley, seasoning mixtures, sugar, and bay leaves. Bring to a boil over
high heat, and then reduce the heat and let simmer, covered, for 1 hour. Crumble
the ground beef in a large skillet. Cook over medium-high heat until fully
cooked, with no pink color remaining. Drain the fat from the meat, and then add
the ground beef to the stockpot. Simmer for 20 more minutes. Cook the pasta
according to the package directions. Cover the bottom of a 13 by 9 by 2-inch pan
with sauce. Add a layer of pasta and then a little less than 1/2 of each cheese;
repeat the layers, ending with the sauce. Bake in the oven for 30 minutes. Top
the casserole with the remaining cheese, return it to the oven, and continue to
cook until the cheese is melted and bubbly, about 5 more minutes. Cut into
squares before serving.

Chili Powder just enough to give it a little zing.

Brown the ground beef.
Cook enough macaroni for number of desired servings.
