Mrs. Geraldine's Ground Beef Casserole

This recipe took a while to cook but it was sooooo worth it! I made it on a day I was off work so it was no big deal. Then I ate on the leftovers for days it was so yummy. Great alternative to spaghetti and has wonderful flavor.

P.S. I have no clue who Mrs. Geraldine is! ; 0

Ingredients

    • 1 lb ground beef
    • 1 (15 ounce) cans tomatoes (I used diced)
    • 1/4 cup chopped onions (I used lots of onion powder)
    • 1/4 cup chopped bell peppers (I left this out)
    • 1/4 cup chopped celery (I used a little celery salt)

    • 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
    • 1 (10 3/4 ounce) cans cream of mushroom soup
    • 1/4 lb sharp cheddar cheese
    • 1 (6 ounce) packages angel hair pasta, cooked, this is an estimated size bag- the original recipe called for 1 small bag
    • 1 (8 ounce) cans tomato sauce
    • salt and pepper to taste
    • splash of sugar to taste
