My mother made this on a regular basis when I was a child. Unlike traditional Johnny Marzetti this is not a casserole, it's made in the skillet. It is a quick, easy and very economical dish. Think homemade Hamburger Helper.

This is the EXACT recipe my mother made too. Thank you so much for posting this. When i started my search for this recipe awhile ago, all them were the casserole versions and i was beginning to wonder if i would ever find the recipe that was a favorite of mine as a kid. Apparently it's not for everyone, but for me this is pure comfort food!
ronda.andersonAwful. Unoriginal, unappetizing, and bland. lrn2season!
