This is an original recipe likely adapted from a recipe even older. My Grandma Hill was a caterer and in spite of it's humble appearance, served it at many of her parties. It has been a favorite of mine since I was old enough to chew. As a wee one, I always thought the definition of 'concoction' was that delicious dish!
Grandma's Concoction
1# ground beef
1#can of corn or substitute equal amount of frozen or fresh corn
1# can whole tomatoes not drained
1 large XLNT or similar commercial tamale
1 large onion, chopped
1# bag noodles, cooked to just before al dente
1# or so grated cheddar cheese
cook beef and chopped onion to done, add everything else except noodles and combine until hot and fully mixed in. Fold in noodles and place in casserole dish. Top with as much grated cheddar cheese as you like and bake in 350 degree oven until browned. I like it crispy, but do it to suit what you like. Serve with tossed salad and enjoy!
I love to cook. Sometimes I "hit" it and sometimes I don't. I am not, nor will I ever be a prize winner, but I want to eventually share all my family recipes.....from Mom and Grandma Hill, Mom's mom. Welcome!
