Beef Casserole

I know it's a small picture. Do you really want it to be bigger? I didn't think so.

1 1/4 lb. ground beef
1 large onion
1 large bell pepper
1 small can tomato sauce
1 (6 oz.) can mushroom soup
1 c. elbow macaroni
1 1/2 c. grated American cheese

Brown meat, onion and pepper. Drain. Cook macaroni and drain. Mix first 6 ingredients and pour into deep greased casserole. Bake for about 30 minutes at 300 F. Put cheese over top and return to oven to melt cheese.

Cream of mushroom soup mixed with tomato sauce has a yuck factor of infinity. Mix that with cheese that is strip-mined in Michigan and we have a winner. This is not food, people. I would be afraid to feed this to a dog. Step well away from the cream of mushroom soup, now. It is NOT a sauce. I repeat, condensed cream of mushroom soup is NOT A SAUCE! Glad we're clear on that. I think the only thing about this recipe that makes me happy is that it doesn't contain sliced wieners. Although, if they were those Wild Wieners we talked about earlier, we might be in bid'ness. Love ya'll. Come back an' see me!

  1. I don't care to discuss any food that has Cream of Mushroom soup.

    I once had to use it to defend the fact that South Dakota is part of the Midwest.

  2. Wait, I'm confused. Did you *hit* someone with a can of CoMS? Or did you bring it up as a "talking point" in a heated discussion? Because to me, the first option makes the most sense. If it's door number two, Imma need some more info.
