Italian Delight

My mom got this recipe from her mother. One time my mom made it for my dad, when they were newly married, and used pitted olives.  I think he my have broken a tooth!  I always slice my olives in this dish, so that for sure has never happened to me.

3 cups uncooked pasta            1 can tomato sauce
1 lb. hamburger                       1 can pitted olives, sliced
1 lg. onion                               8 oz. shredded cheese
1 green pepper                        1 Tbsp Worcestershire sauce
1 tsp. minced garlic                  1/2 tsp. paprika
1 can tomato soup                    4 shakes cayenne paper
1 lg. creamed corn

Cook pasta in boiling water according package directions.

Brown hamburger with chopped onion, green pepper and garlic.  Drain and rinse.  Add tomato soup, creamed corn, tomato sauce, olives and spices.  Simmer, add noodles, top with cheese.  Bake 350 degrees for 20 minutes.

***Freezer meal - Prep everything except the pasta.  (If you add the pasta, only cook it aldente before adding it to the rest for the freezer)    Thaw, add pasta if needed, then top with cheese to bake.
