Grandmas Spaghetti Casserole Recipes

GRANDMA'S GROUND BEEF CASSEROLE

Steps:

• Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook and stir beef in the hot skillet until browned and crumbly, 5 to 7 minutes; drain and discard grease. Mix sugar, salt, garlic salt and tomato sauce into ground beef; simmer until flavors blend, about 20 minutes. Remove from heat, cover skillet, and cool to room temperature.
• Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook egg noodles in the boiling water, stirring occasionally until cooked through but firm to the bite, about 5 minutes. Drain and cool slightly.
• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 9x13-inch casserole dish.
• Mix sour cream, cream cheese, and onion in a bowl.
• Scoop half the noodles into the prepared casserole dish; top with half the sour cream mixture. Spoon half the ground beef mixture atop sour cream layer. Repeat layering with remaining ingredients. Top casserole with Cheddar cheese.
• Bake in the preheated oven until Cheddar cheese has browned, 25 to 30 minutes.

GRANDMA OLA'S TUNA SPAGHETTI CASSEROLE

Steps:

• 1. Put 3 c water in a 2 quart pan and bring to boil. Add dash of garlic powder and 1 cup "spaghetti" (my mom always used elbow macaroni). Stir and cook on medium high to al dente, about 7 minutes (check package directions). Drain, return to pan, cover and set aside.
• 2. While pasta cooks, in a small bowl, mix 1/2 cup cold milk with 2 tablespoons cornstarch. Set aside.
• 3. In a medium bowl combine 2 beaten eggs, tuna (instructions do not say to drain it, but I think Mom did), cream of mushroom soup, salt (Mom usually omitted this), tablespoon of chopped onion (or more), 1/4 teaspoon celery leaf powder (or more), 1/2 teaspoon French's mustard (you can guess where Grandma probably got this recipe), milk & cornstarch mixture (stir just before adding). Stir well.
• 4. Grandma's original instructions: "Pour into the cooked spaghetti & stir. Cook over low heat to thicken. Stir a little." 0;-) (You will probably need to cook the mixture over low heat at least 5 minutes to make sure the eggs and cornstarch are done. Remember however, all stoves are different, so watch the mixture closely; you'll be able to tell when it's ready because the consistency will suddenly be thick/viscous. It's done then. Remove from heat and serve immediately. (Do not over cook as this will break down the cornstarch.)
