My mother made this a lot as I was a child and a young adult still at home. Hamburger, sweet onion, macaroni, tomato soup was her recipe with a little salt and papper. When I was married in early 1970 I began adding some green pepper, a little oregano, tomato sauce and diced tomatoes. Later some celery or celery seed and cheese. Recipes evolve, but memories are some of the most lasting things I know. Always comforting to recall this dish and mom and I at our little table in a one room apartment in Columbus, Ohio. Love and prayer always accompanied each meal.
