My grandma used to make this for me when I was younger. It’s been 10 years since she passed but I still make this on an almost weekly basis. The smell reminds me of her. Very simple recipe!
– Pasta. Any kind will do but I prefer rotini or medium shells.
– 1 pound of Hamburg
– 1-2 cans of Campbell’s tomato soup. Used as the sauce, right out of the can into the pasta!
– salt/pepper to taste. Mix and Enjoy!
Don’t knock it til you try it. It’s so good!
Grandma’s Nostalgic Pasta Delight
Ingredients:
- 1 pound of your preferred pasta (rotini, medium shells, or any kind you like)
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1-2 cans of Campbell’s tomato soup
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions:
- Cook the Pasta:
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil.
- Cook the pasta according to the package instructions until it reaches your desired level of doneness. Drain and set aside.
- Brown the Ground Beef:
- In a large skillet over medium heat, brown the ground beef until fully cooked. Break it up into crumbles as it cooks. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Combine Pasta and Ground Beef:
- Add the cooked pasta to the skillet with the browned ground beef. Mix well to combine the pasta and meat evenly.
- Add Campbell’s Tomato Soup:
- Pour the cans of Campbell’s tomato soup directly into the skillet with the pasta and ground beef. Stir until the sauce is well distributed and coats the pasta.
- Adjust Seasoning:
- Taste the dish and adjust the salt and pepper if needed. The tomato soup provides flavor, but you can personalize it to your liking.
- Heat Through:
- Allow the pasta and sauce mixture to heat through, stirring occasionally. This helps the flavors meld together.
- Serve and Enjoy:
- Once heated through, your Grandma’s Nostalgic Pasta Delight is ready to be served. Dish it up into bowls and savor the comforting aroma and flavors.
Note: This simple and nostalgic recipe can be enjoyed as is, or you can add a sprinkle of grated cheese, chopped fresh herbs, or a dash of hot sauce for an extra kick. Feel free to experiment and make it your own while keeping the essence of your grandma’s special dish alive.
