Hamburger and Macaroni (American Chop Suey)

2 cups uncooked macaroni (use rice pasta for wheat-free version)

1 lb. ground beef
1 Tbs. olive oil

1 yellow onion, chopped (or mixed chopped green onion greens and yellow onion)
1 Tbs. olive oil

Dash crushed red pepper
1/2 tsp. Vegesal or other seasoned salt
1/2 tsp. celery seed
1 large can (28 oz) of diced tomatoes
2 Tbs. Worcestershire sauce
1/4 cup chopped parsley

Get a large pot of hot water heating and begin cooking the macaroni as per the directions on the macaroni package.

In a skillet, brown the ground beef in a tablespoon of olive oil on high heat. Stir only infrequently so that the ground beef has an opportunity to brown.

In a large skillet, sauté chopped onion with a tablespoon of olive oil on medium high heat. Add the ground beef and lower the heat to medium.

Add a dash of crushed red pepper, seasoned salt, celery seed, canned tomatoes, and Worcestershire sauce. Bring to a simmer and let simmer for 5 minutes.

Mix in the drained and cooked macaroni and parsley. Simmer for another 5 minutes.
