Hamburger & Macaroni

I found this recipe from simplyrecipes.com by Elise Bauer, California while I was looking for a macaroni recipe. The pictures caught my eye and that was why I went on to try it. Hence I have copy pasted the recipe on this page for your reference. Even the pictures belong to the same site. Hope you enjoy this .....


INGREDIENTS:

1 pound ground beef
1 yellow onion, chopped (or mixed chopped green onion greens and yellow onion)
Olive oil/cooking oil
1/2 teaspoon Vegesal or other seasoned salt
1tsp red chilli powder
1 tsp garlic paste
1 tsp ginger paste
Dash crushed red pepper
1/2 teaspoon celery seed
1 large can (28 oz) of diced tomatoes
2 Tbsp Worcestershire sauce/soya sauce
1/4 cup chopped coriander leaves
2 cups uncooked macaroni (use rice pasta for wheat-free version)



HOW TO MAKE:

1)   Get a large pot of hot water heating and begin cooking the macaroni as per the directions on the macaroni package.





2)   In a skillet, brown the ground beef in a tablespoon of olive oil on high heat. Stir only infrequently so that the ground beef has an opportunity to brown.




 3)   In a large skillet, sauté chopped onion with a tablespoon of olive oil on medium high heat.




4)   Add the ground beef and lower the heat to medium. Add a dash of crushed red pepper. Add Vegesal or other seasoned salt. Add celery seed.

5)  Add canned tomatoes. Add Worcestershire sauce. Bring to a simmer and let simmer for 5 minutes.






6)  Mix in the drained and cooked macaroni and parsley. Simmer for another 5 minutes.


RATING NOTES:

              DIFFICULTY LEVEL    :   EASY
              RATING  POINTS         :    8/10**


**  Do not overcook the macaroni. They need to be just rightly boiled and not too soft and sticky. To prevent them from sticking to each other, you can add a teaspoon oil while the macaroni is boiling in the water.
