JOE MAZETTI

                Those of you that read my profile, or know me, know that I have seven children.

         In the middle 80s', I made a number of casseroles, soups, stews, any dish that was

        going to feed a family of nine [or more when we had guests]. I made the recipe that

        follows many times, and I still get request to make it. It is satisfying, and easy

        to assemble,

                                                              JOE MAZETTI
 
                      Brown; 1+1/2 lb. hamburg , scramble in a 3 qt. saucepan.
                      Add;  2 chopped onions
                                5 stalks of celery
                                1 green pepper ,chopped
                      Season with 1 tsp minced garlic, 1/4 salt and 1/4 pepper
                      Add to this; 2 small jars mushroom pieces and liquid
                                         1 small jar of olives, cut in half, including liquid
                                         2  15 ounce cans or jars pizza sauce
                                         1 can tomato soup
                                         1 soup can water
                   Simmer all together, uncovered.

                   While this is simmering cook 1 box - 16 oz.- of wide noodles [such as no-yolks]
                   When noodles are cooked, drain, .then add to sauce.
                   Pour into a 9 x 13 pan. or [ 5qt. casserole dish ] or 2  8x 9pans
                   Stir  well to coat noodles. Cover with shredded sharp cheese.
                   Bake in preheated oven 350* for 50 minutes.

                   I hope you will give this a try and let me know your results.

                   That is all for today friend,  till next time, Jenny

  1. I thought you didn't like mushrooms! I hadn't noticed before that this had celery in it. I'd want to put black olives in it, but Joe wouldn't want that!

  5. Wow I have ben looking for this Recipe for ages and thought I was lost. I used to have it but our family lost everything in a house fire a year ago. My mother and grandmother used to make this whin I was a kid back in the 60's and 70's. I come from a family of 6 children as well where we almost always had company at the table. thanks so much I can't wait to make it.
