Sicilian Supper - more comfort food from my youth!

  Re: (...)
Okay here's another one from my youth. It was a major family favorite and I'd made it for Bob and his Mom a couple of times. Through all of the moves I lost the recipe card but ya gotta love Google!!!

Thought I'd share this with you - it's such a simple dish, and just so satisfying. (wish I had a plate of it right now!)

Sicilian Supper

Ingredients
1 lb Ground beef
1/2 cup Chopped onion
1 can Tomato paste (6 oz)
3/4 cup Water
1 tsp Salt
1/8 tsp Garlic powder
-----------------------------------
1/2 cup Chopped green pepper
1 tbsp Butter
1 pkg Cream cheese (8 oz), cubed
3/4 cup Milk
1/3 cup Grated parmesan cheese
1/4 tsp Salt
2 cups Noodles, cooked, drained (4 oz)
Preparation
1. Brown meat; drain.
2. Add onion; cook until tender. Stir in tomato paste, water and seasonings; simmer 5 minutes.
3. Saute green pepper in butter. Add cream cheese and milk, stirring until cream cheese melts. Stir in parmesan cheese, salt and noodles.
4. In a 10x6 baking dish, arrange alternate crosswise rows of meat mixture and noodles. Top with additional grated parm. if desired.
5. Bake at 350 degrees for 20 minutes. Yields 6-8 servings.

Great! Now I'll need to find a baking dish with yet ANOTHER size!

Nah! I'll just adapt this to 8x8. Sounds delicious, though.

OK, I'm beginning to accept I'm either mentally challenged or CRS is taking over my brain. But could you please explain this a little more?

I'm picturing rows of noodles alternated with rows of meat mixture...all in one layer. Or are you talking about alternating layers?

Sharon, this looks delightful! I am going to have to try it. But, I too need more explanation for the 'crosswise rows' part.

I may just make this, this week! I am trying not to cook, since we are 'on vacation', but this may be a hard one to resist. I think my family would LOVE this. Thanks for sharing.

Spoon a row of meat across the width of the pan, next a row of noodles, etc. We usually end up with 2 rows of each.

Sounds delish! My mom made something similar when I was growing up. Still one of my favorite comfort foods. I'll have to be trying this one for sure. Thanks Sharon!
