Quick and easy one dish meal...

I have been wanting some of the macaroni tomato and beef casserole that we had in elementary school a zillion years ago, so I made it today...First I browned 1 pound ground beef with 1 large onion chopped fine, while that was cooking I boiled 1-8 oz pkg of macaroni about 1/2 done, I drained it, then added it to the hamburger mixture with 2 cans crushed tomatos,about 2 tsp chili powder, 1 tsp garlic salt, 1 tsp celery seed and a good grinding of pepper, cover and simmer about 30 minutes, I baked a cake of cornbread and it made a good easy meal.How do you like my square Revere skillet, A gift from Ron Jones..I Love it!!

School Cafeteria Goulash! Ah, yes; I remember it well...which is why I went in search of a recipe for it a few years ago. Mine is similar to yours. Simple comfort food: It's what's for supper. Minus the hair nets.

That square Revere is awesome.

Funny Sometimes....

What we come to love and remember.

With me, my favorite grade-school cafeteria memory is the boiled cabbage. Yes, ya whippersnappers, there was a time when dinosaurs roamed the Earth and kids ate stuff that adults told them to eat because it was good for them.

I was always very popular on boiled-cabbage day, because we had a clean-plate rule (in a public school, yet!) and I could be counted on to surreptitiously trade a dessert for more cabbage. I absolutely loved the stuff.

And still do.

On the other hand, do not get me started on the subject of canned cream corn. I gagged more of that hideous stuff down under the steely glare of Mrs. Joanne Price than I care to remember. I still hate canned cream corn. And I'm still not crazy about Mrs. Price, either.

Yuk Creamed Corn

I will use it when I cook, occasionally, but I will not eat it as is. It always looked like it was already consumed once, and redopisted back into the can. Just Sayin!

Creamed Corn

Love the stuff.

Great in Shepard's Pie, Corn Chowdah, And pour it over a cooked meatloaf.

And I do love Boiled Cabbage with a ton of butter on it.

You opened this can, Sandy, and I'm jumping in.

Hans, we had a dish like that served at our school, too. This was before the days of Hamburger Helper!! Looks yummy and that Hotpoint is a real beauty!

My problem is I make WAY too much of it and dont want to look at it after the 4th meal. End up freezing it for quick lunches and it tastes great. It was called American Chop Suey around here.

Square Revere Skillet:

That is one of two "real" Revere pieces made back in the day that shows whether you're a really serious Revere collector. As you've found, it's not easy to find, and it's usually not cheap.

The other is the griddle, which is a little easier to locate than the square skillet. It's a beautiful piece - expensive, but not as much so as Hans's new goodie:
