This was a favorite of ours as kids. Cooks up fast and can increase amounts to feed larger crowds. Great on a cold night for dinner.

1lb ground beef
1/2 onion chopped fine (can substitute dried minced onion 2 TBSP)
1 box elbow macaroni
2-14oz cans Ro-tel chopped tomatoes (or your favorite brand)
1 tablespoon minced garlic
3 TBSP worcestershire sauce
2 packages of pork gravy (can use 2 cans prepared gravy)
1 can mushrooms
salt and pepper to taste
1 cup water

Brown hamburger and onion together (drain fat). Place tomatoes, garlic, mushrooms, gravy, worcestershire, water, salt and pepper in large pot and place on medium heat while hamburger is cooking, stir occasionally. Put hamburger in when finished cooking. Cook macaroni to package directions and drain. Place in pot with rest of ingredients. Serve and enjoy.

Received via email

1 roast (English cut or pot roast)
1 package frozen noodles
1-2 Beef bouillon cubes (optional)
Salt & Pepper

Cut roast into chunks and brown in a little oil in your pressure cooker. When nicely browned, add water to cover. Follow your pressure cooker instructions on length of time to cook meat. (I usually cook mine 15-20 minutes on medium heat) After meat is cooked bring back up to a boil and add noodles…(No lid needed). At this time you may add the bouillon if desired. Cook until noodles are done. (Takes about 20 minutes).

Makes a nice fall dinner!

Linguini and Clam Sauce

Cheri’ A. Hofeldt, The Quilter’s Retreat

I always keep a can of chopped clams and a box of linguini in the pantry for “THOSE” days. We have to replace the chlorestrol we use up during a day of hot quilting. (Cheri’s Justification #3) Here is the recipe:

Clam Sauce
(6.5oz) cans CHOPPED clams - reserve the liquid
2 cloves garlic or some garlic crystals to taste
2 tablespoons butter or olive oil
Chopped parsley (yeah like quilters have that!)

Start boiling the water for linguine and prepare as per box. In a small sauce pan, melt butter or heat olive oil. Cook garlic until tender or add garlic crystals and dissolve. Add clam juice and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer while linguine is cooking. Add clams to sauce and heat. When linguine is tender, drain and pour clam sauce over the linguine. Sprinkle on a little parmesan if you have it and the parsley. This only takes about 10-12 minutes so you should be back to quilting in 30 minutes.
