Mixed Up Mess

What did you call this when you were growing up? We've all eaten it! They even served it in the school cafeteria. I've heard names like, Train Wreck, Goop, Garbage, Sloparoni and Slumgullen. I'm sure there are more. Whatever you call it I still love it. You will have no trouble getting the kids to eat this. Let them give it their own name.

1 pound ground beef
1 onion, chopped
Olive oil
1/2 teaspoon seasoned salt
Dash crushed red pepper
1/2 teaspoon celery seed
1 large can (28-ounces) of diced tomatoes
2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
1/4 cup chopped parsley
2 cups uncooked macaroni

Cook macaroni in a large pot of boiling water according to package directions.

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

In a large skillet, saute chopped onion with a tablespoon olive oil on medium high heat. Add the beef and lower the heat to medium. Add a dash of crushed red pepper. Add seasoned salt. Add celery seed. Add canned tomatoes. Add 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.
