Name that Recipe

The following recipe has been passed down from Jim’s grandmother to Jim’s mother, and now it is a dish that we prepare on a fairly regular basis. It is affectionately called “Spaghetti Stuff”. We are soliciting ideas for a better name. In the meantime, try this out. It’s even better re-heated the next day.

Brown these together all at once:

1 lb ground beef

1 large green pepper chopped
(the dish gets its flavor from the green pepper, so don’t skimp)

1 onion chopped

Add:

1 can tomato sauce (15 oz)

1 can tomato paste (6 oz)

1 can kidney beans (15 oz)

½ lb cooked pasta
(Grandma used spaghetti noodles, but we like to use the Barilla mini penne)

Mix together and serve. It was traditionally eaten with rye bread and butter - don't know why.

If you have a better name, leave a comment! Please! Thanks.

I like the simplicity of "spaghetti stuff"... short and to the point. Wouldn't change it!
