Uncooked Yellow Microwave Hamburger And Macaroni Casserole

Uncooked Yellow Microwave Hamburger And Macaroni Casserole

Ingredients:
1 cup uncooked macaroni
1 small yellow onion, chopped

Directions:
1 8-ounce can tomato sauce
1 cup water
1⁄ cup ketchup
4
1⁄ cup green pepper, seeded and chopped
3
1 tablespoon light brown sugar
1⁄ teaspoon salt
2
1⁄ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
2
1⁄ teaspoon chili powder
4
1 8-ounce can corn, undrained
Place all the ingredients in a 2-quart glass or otherwise microwave-safe
casserole dish. Stir well, making sure the ground beef is broken into small
pieces. Cover and microwave on high for 8 minutes. Uncover and stir well.
Cover and microwave for an additional 7 minutes. Let the casserole rest for
5 minutes, covered. Stir and serve.
Meaty Alternatives
You can substitute ground turkey for the ground beef in this recipe. If you
want a lower-fat dish, microwave the ground meat on high until done. Break
the meat apart and drain the fat; blot the meat with a paper towel to remove
any fat clinging to the meat. Add the other ingredients and make the
casserole according to the recipe instructions.
IMPROVISED SHEPHERD’S PIE
Use beef gravy with shredded roast beef or hamburger, and use chicken gravy if
you’re using chicken or shredded pork; mushroom gravy works with any of them.
