Baked Cheesy Chop Suey

Baked Cheesy Chop Suey

My mom’s leftover macaroni and cheese

2 cups tomato sauce (made fresh from the garden tomatoes)

1 can tomato paste

1 lb. ground beef

1 tbsp. minced garlic

1 medium onion, chopped

1 medium green pepper, chopped

2 stalks celery, finely chopped

1 tbsp. extra virgin olive oil

¼ cup Parmesan cheese

Cook burger and drain off grease and set aside. In large Dutch oven sauté onions, garlic, peppers and celery in one tablespoon of olive oil for about 5 minutes. Add burger, tomato sauce and tomato paste and stir well to combine. Cook until hot and bubbly. Fold in leftover macaroni and cheese just to cover with sauce. Sprinkle with Parmesan cheese and bake 350º for 30 minutes or until bubbly.
