Red Macaroni
Mandy’s family favorite, Red Macaroni, has been passed down for 3 generations! It’s similar to goulash and it’s a great replacement for plain ole’ spaghetti night!
This makes about 6 servings.

Ingredients
1 cup elbow macaroni (uncooked)
1 jar spaghetti sauce
1 lb lean ground beef
1 medium onion, diced
1-1.5 cups water
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
1 Tbsp Italian Seasoning
Salt and Pepper to taste
Here’s how to make it
Preheat oven to 350. Grease 2 qt baking dish.
Brown ground beef with onions in a skillet; drain if needed.
In a large pan (with higher sides) add browned ground beef/onions, spaghetti sauce, water, Italian seasoning, salt and pepper, and elbow macaroni and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for about 20 minutes, stirring often. (Add extra water if needed).
Once elbows are cooked through, transfer mixture to a baking dish.
Cover with cheese and put in the oven for about 5 minutes, until the cheese is just melted.
Serve and enjoy!
