I will give you my recipe in a simple form. It is very easy to make substitutions and additions; for example, I often use ground turkey instead of beef, and will some times add in sausage. Lately, I have been cooking 3 or 4 carrots in with it as well (which tastes great).

Ingrediants:

* 1-1.5 lbs ground beef
* 1 green pepper
* 1-2 onion(s)
* 1.5-2 jars sphaghetti sauce (Classico Spicy Red Pepper goes great)
* Seasonings to taste (I like a garlic pepper mix we used to buy in CT and basil and sometimes oregano)
* 1-1.5 lbs of elbows (macaroni)

1. Brown the beef, and chop up the pepper and onion into small pieces (as well as any other vegetables you are going to add), start the water boiling for the macaroni.
2. Drain the beef, and put the chopped veggies in with it.
3. Sautee the veggies as long as you like, but remember that they will continue to cook in the sauce so you do not need to leave them in too long before adding the sauce. Lower the heat to medium low, and if desired cover.
4. Cook the sauce as long as you like, and once you figure you want another 10 minutes or so start the macaroni. Generally I play this by ear and don't cook the sauce too much longer than the elbows take.
5. Drain the macaroni, mix it all together, and serve.
6. Save your leftovers, and to reheat just throw it in the microwave or reheat in a frying pan over medium-low to medium heat.

Melting cheese on it tastes good, as well as parmesan. Generally, I eat it as a one dish meal, and clean my plate or bowl with a piece or three of bread. This will serve 5-8 people

CLUB SODA WAFFLES

2 cups Bisquick mix
1 egg
½ cup canola oil
1-1/3 cups club soda

Mix well all ingredients, pour into hot waffle iron. Batter will not save so cook all batter and you can freeze cooked waffles.

I also know quite a few drink recipes, and a Prairie Oyster recipe to follow it up the next day. Wink

CHEERS!

Believe it or not, I love to cook... not for myself, this sucks, but for the family...

It's a lot of work to do it right (and engineers have to do it right <grin>). More importantly, as I have started to cook for the family on a more regular basis, it increases my appreciation for the spouse, who has to do it daily, and she has some pretty mean skills in the kitchen Laughing

One helpful site for me...

http://www.cookingforengineers.com/

believe it or not, this site helped me and my son hit the 10-level on Thanksgiving dinner last year... and once a week, I try, or re-try something new...
