GRANNY'S FAMOUS MARSETTI

I have no idea where this recipe originally came from. It's one of those strange concoctions that you try to describe to people and, well, they just never understand... until they TASTE it. This is a family recipe my great grandmother - aka Granny - used to make for my cousins and me. It is the ultimate comfort food and I rarely make it because I can't stop eating it!

This classic casserole made with pasta, ground beef, and vegetables in a cheesy tomato sauce is perfect comfort food that can feed a crowd!

Provided by NeighborFood

Categories     Main Dish

Time 55m

Number Of Ingredients 15

1 lb. macaroni pasta
1 Tablespoon olive oil
1 yellow onion, chopped
1 green pepper, chopped
8 ounces mushrooms, chopped
2 lbs. ground beef (or swap 1 lb. for Italian sausage)
Salt and pepper
2 (14 oz) cans tomato sauce
1 (14 oz) can diced tomatoes, drained
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 teaspoon oregano
1 teaspoon Italian herbs
Pinch sugar
2 cups cheddar cheese, divided
2 cups Italian blend cheese, divided

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
  • Bring a large pot of water to boil for the macaroni. Cook the macaroni until on the firmer side of al dente, about 7 minutes. I like to under do it because it will continue to soften in the casserole. Drain the pasta, then return it to the pot and set aside.
  • In the meantime, heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the onion, green pepper, and mushrooms to the skillet and saute until softened, about five minutes. Add the ground beef and cook until no pink remains. Drain the fat off the beef mixture, then season to taste with salt and pepper.
  • Add the tomato sauce, diced tomatoes, garlic, oregano, Italian herbs, and sugar to the beef mixture. Allow it to simmer for five or so minutes, stirring occasionally.
  • Carefully pour the beef mixture into the pot with the noodles and stir to combine. Add 1 cup of cheddar cheese and 1 cup of Italian blend to the mix. Pour the mixture into a 9 x 13 inch casserole dish. Top with the remaining 2 cups of cheese. Bake for 30 minutes, or until cheese is golden and melted. Top with parsley for serving.

JOHNNY MARZETTI CASSEROLE



Johnny Marzetti Casserole image

Kids love this buffet-ready casserole dish. My mother-in-law used to make a simpler version of this for my husband when he was growing up. This version pushes the flavor profile a bit. I prefer to have this dish sit overnight before baking as the flavors improve and the pasta absorbs some of the sauce so the consistency is just right.

Time 1h55m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 12

8 ounces rotini pasta
1 pound ground beef
½ pound bulk mild Italian sausage
¾ cup chopped onion
¼ cup chopped celery
1 clove garlic, minced
1 tablespoon minced green bell pepper
salt and pepper to taste
1 (14.4 ounce) can diced tomatoes
1 (15 ounce) can tomato sauce

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  • Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Add pasta and cook until just al dente, 6 to 8 minutes; drain. Run cold water over the pasta to stop pasta from cooking further. Set aside.
  • Meanwhile, cook the ground beef and sausage until completely browned and crumbled, 7 to 10 minutes. Mix in the onion, celery, garlic, and pepper; continue to cook and stir another 5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Remove from heat and stir in tomatoes and tomato sauce. Allow to cool five minutes.
  • Lightly grease a large casserole dish. Spread the pasta over the bottom of the dish. Sprinkle the Italian cheese blend over the pasta. Pour the meat mixture over the pasta and cheese. Cover dish with heavy aluminum foil. Bake in preheated oven for 45 minutes; remove foil and sprinkle Cheddar cheese evenly over the casserole. Continue baking until Cheddar cheese has melted, about 5 minutes. Rest for 10 minutes before serving.

ALMOST MARZETTI'S SLAW DRESSING



Almost Marzetti's Slaw Dressing image

Did you ever just start cooking without really having a clue where you were going to end up? My kids have gotten used to it by now. "Mom, what's for dinner?" "I don't know, it's not DONE yet. Let's wait and see what it turns out to be, okay?" Sometimes I let them name it. I really had absolutely NO idea how this would taste, but sometimes I come up with pretty decent stuff that way. Over the Memorial Day weekend, I thought I'd just whip up some coleslaw to go with my Bobbie-Q Beef (recipe for that may follow...eventually) But instead of reaching for a coleslaw recipe in a cookbook, I whipped out my handy-dandy Palm Pilot (how did I EVER get along without it?) and looked up the recipe for "Amish Macaroni Salad." I took that as my leaping-off point. First, I changed it from Miracle Whip to mayonnaise, then reduced the sugar. Also I added the celery salt, because, well, if it's good enough for a Chicago Style Hot Dog, it's good enough for me. Turned out that it tasted almost-but-not-quite exactly like Marzetti's Brand Slaw Dressing which comes in a glass jar from Your Grocer's Refrigerator Case. Which I just happen to like, so it was a good thing. Hope you give this a try.

Time 15m

Yield 2 1/2 cups of dressing

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 cups light mayonnaise
2/3 cup sugar
1/4 cup white distilled vinegar
2 tablespoons prepared yellow mustard
cabbage
carrot
celery salt

Steps:

  • Combine mayonnaise, sugar, vinegar and mustard in bowl and mix thoroughly until sugar is completely dissolved.
  • Using a large and very sharp chef's knife, slice cabbage into shreds fine shreds.
  • Thinly slice or shred carrot and combine with cabbage in bowl.
  • Sprinkle lightly with celery salt and toss.
  • While stirring, pour just enough dressing over the prepared vegetables to moisten them nicely.
  • (After it sits a while, there will suddenly be more liquid in the bowl than you thought there was- it will come off the veggies. So don't overdo the dressing. You can always add more later if need be.) Cover and chill.
  • Refrigerate unused portion of dressing for later use.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality ingredients: The better the ingredients, the better the marsetti will taste. Use fresh, ripe tomatoes, flavorful cheese, and a good quality olive oil.
  • Don't overcook the tomatoes: Overcooked tomatoes will lose their flavor and texture. Cook them just until they are softened and starting to break down.
  • Use a good quality cheese: The cheese is one of the most important ingredients in marsetti. Use a cheese that melts well and has a good flavor. Some good options include mozzarella, cheddar, and Parmesan.
  • Don't skimp on the olive oil: Olive oil adds flavor and richness to marsetti. Use a good quality olive oil and don't be afraid to use a generous amount.
  • Let the marsetti rest before serving: This will allow the flavors to meld and the marsetti to set. Let it rest for at least 15 minutes before slicing and serving.

Conclusion:

Marsetti is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for any occasion. It can be served as an appetizer, main course, or side dish. With its simple ingredients and flavorful taste, marsetti is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy meal, give marsetti a try.
