A MINNESOTAN'S BEEF AND MACARONI HOTDISH

Steps:

• Cook beef in large skillet over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until browned, about 5 minutes. Transfer beef to a bowl.
• Cook macaroni, bell pepper, and onion in the same skillet over medium heat for 3 minutes. Add cooked beef, tomato sauce, tomatoes, Worcestershire sauce, soy sauce, salt, basil, oregano, ground black pepper, chili powder, garlic powder, and hot pepper sauce. Pour in beef broth. Cover skillet and simmer until macaroni is tender, about 15 minutes. Remove lid and simmer, stirring occasionally, until thickened, 5 to 10 minutes.

GREGGIE'S HOTDISH

Steps:

• Cook egg noodles and rinse in cold water, set aside.
• Brown ground beef and drain.
• Add salt, pepper, and garlic powder to ground beef.
• Add tomato sauce and simmer 5 minutes.
• Take 1 cup sour cream and 1 cup cottage cheese and combine with noodles.
• Layer noodles on bottom, then layer of meat, then layer of noodle; end with meat on top.
• Cover with shredded cheese (I often wait to put the desired amount of cheese on for the last 10-15 minutes of cooking time, so the cheese doesn't get burned).
• Bake in oven at 350 degrees for 45 minutes, or until bubbly; covered with foil.

BUSY DAY HOTDISH

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Butter a 9-by-13-inch glass or ceramic baking dish.
• Heat a medium Dutch oven over medium heat. Add the butter, and once it melts, add the beef and sprinkle with 1 teaspoon salt. Cook, crumbling with a wooden spoon, until browned, 4 to 5 minutes. Add the bell pepper and scallions (saving a handful of the greens for garnish) and cook until the vegetables begin to wilt, 2 to 3 minutes. Add the paprika and several grinds of pepper, then stir to coat the beef in the spices. Stir in the corn.
• Sprinkle the flour over the beef and stir to incorporate. Cook and stir until the flour begins to toast, about 2 minutes. Add the broth and cream gradually while stirring. Bring to a simmer and cook until the sauce thickens, 3 to 4 minutes. Stir in the parsley, mustard, dill and thyme. Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish. Arrange the curly fries in a tight layer over the top. Sprinkle with the cheese. Bake until the cheese and fries are crispy and the sauce is bubbly, about 40 minutes. Sprinkle with the reserved scallion greens and serve hot.

GRAMMA'S HAMBURGER HOTDISH

Steps:

• Brown ground chuck, drain grease and set aside.
• Cut up vegetables - thinly slice the potatoes (make sure they are evenly sliced so that they cook evenly) dice the onion, and cut up carrot and celery.
• In a large bowl mix together the beef, vegetables and tomato sauce, rice and sugar.
• Pour all the ingredients into a 9 x 13 inch glass casserole. Cover with tin foil and bake for about an hour in a 350 degree oven - or until the vegetables are done.
