Mellow, Colby cheese, no mushrooms, just the way my MIL loves it. I make this casserole ahead for a change of pace for my MIL. This grew out of Johnny Marzetti in Jean Anderson's American Century Cookbook.

Time 1h20m

Yield 6 cups, 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

1/2 lb bow tie pasta (or elbow macaroni)
1 1/2 tablespoons olive oil
1 large sweet onion (peeled and chopped)
3 large garlic cloves (minced)
1 green bell pepper (chopped coarsely)
1 red bell pepper (chopped coarsely)
1 lb extra lean ground beef (or ground venison)
1 3/4 cups low-sodium tomato sauce
3/4 lb colby cheese (coarsely shredded)

Steps:

  • Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Place the farfalle (aka bow ties) into the pot, cook 8 to 10 minutes, until al dente, and drain.
  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Lightly grease 11 x 7 x 2-inch baking dish (or 8x8-inch pan) and set aside.
  • Heat olive oil in a very large heavy skillet over moderate heat 1 minute.
  • Add onion and garlic. Stir-fry until limp, about 3 minutes.
  • Add chopped bell pepper and stir-fry about 5 minutes.
  • Add beef and cook and stir, breaking up clumps, until no longer red, about 5 minutes.
  • Drain the beef mixture in a fine mesh colander due to the volume of high water content onions and bell peppers.
  • Off heat, mix in tomato sauce, and all but 1 cup cheese.
  • Transfer to baking dish, add bow ties, and toss gently but thoroughly to mix.
  • Scatter remaining 1 cup cheese on top. (Add grated parmesan cheese if more is needed.).
  • Bake, uncovered, until browned and bubbling, 35-40 minutes, and serve.
  • Serves 6.
  • Due to the high moisture content of the onions and bell peppers, this recipe does not freeze as well as other versions of this casserole. If you do freeze it, please reheat in the oven, not the microwave.

This recipe was from a Women's Day or Family Circle magazine that I cut out when my children were small, a good 20 years ago. The recipe was loved by my children and myself. The ingredients are as written, but I always used less ground beef.

A BETTER MARZETTI



A Better Marzetti image

Had never heard of Johnny Marzetti until recently stumbling on his recipe in some newspaper website. Actually, research shows Marzetti's Restaurant in Columbus, Ohio was the source of this great comfort food dish back in the 20's (..is it still there?). Have seen ingredients of several versions of this dish here, but none with all these great ingredients. This is an ultimate comfort food that is even better at the second and third sitting. I think that the sausage and Italian cheese blend is key to success of this rendition. Dish is great with a nice green salad.

JOHNNY MARZETTI UPDATED



Johnny Marzetti Updated image

Satisfying comfort food. I feel like an authority on Johnny Marzetti casserole by now; for each household's preferences I have a unique casserole. This is the basic recipe, updated to 2008 from Jean Anderson's "The American Century Cookbook". Why follow a recipe from the 1950s and 1960s exactly how it was, when so many choices are available to us now? I call this an updated version of Johnny Marzetti, using sweet (Vidalia type) onions, minced garlic, baby portabello mushrooms, low-sodium tomato sauce, and bow tie pasta (farfalle). When all is said and done, this is a tasty casserole I am requested to make again and again (in all its incarnations). This fills one large 14 x 11 1/2 x 2-inch aluminum foil pan for a buffet serving setup, or two 11 x 7 x 2-inch baking dishes. My preparation times are usually longer than average; I am the slowest chopper in the Western Hemisphere.
