The one recipe I am ashamed to share

[Guest guest]

OK, promise you won't tell anyone that I came up with this about 40 years ago,

but it was a good menu stretcher when all 7 kids lived here. It sounds gross and

when I was a kid, had my mother put it in front of me I would have made barfing

sounds and left the table.

 

Ketchup Macaroni

Boil macaroni, melt butter or margarine in the cooked pasta and squirt a good

bit of ketchup over it, stir, adding a bit of white sugar to cut the acidity of

the ketchup. When the kids were here it would take 2 pounds of macaroni and a

bottle of ketchup to feed them. (Considering when I made lasagna it took 20

pounds of it to feed them.)

 

*hanging head* I'm so embarrassed, but the kids have passed the recipe on to

their kids, who eat it, and our great grandson who will get it here if no place

else. Haute cuisine it isn't, but it filled their bellies when the cupboard was

bare.
