Spaghetti n sourdough bread

[LastDragonfly]

oleman stopped by and snagged us a hamburger from town...it was fair, (but I'm glad I didn't have to cook) I've got evil popcorn everywhere in the kitchen and wrapping paper on the table.

...a recipe my m-i-l found, but there's no name to it - we just call it 'Pasta Mix"

1 box (1lb) pasta - I use rotini, penne, or shells
1 lb ground meat - your choice
(here's the good part for us heat-n-eaters)
1 can (or 1 box frozen) spinach - that's about 2 cups
1 can diced tomatoes with Italian spices - again, that's about 2 cups
shredded parmesan cheese (the recipe calls for 6 oz) - I've used the dried parmesan/romano spaghetti sprinkle-type stuff with success

cook pasta according to box directions - cook ground meat (if not already) / canned cooked ground sausage makes this a very quick meal - mix well - pop in oven at 350 for about 15 minutes to get everything hot & the cheese melted a bit

That's what we had for dinner tonight.

Taco Rice n Cheese - From the Philippines none the less.

- Brown 1pd ground beef
- Add Taco seasoning and 1/4 cup water
- Boil 2 cups rice
- Cheese
- Ketchup

In a large bowl, add a big scoop of rice. Add the Taco meat to the top.

Cover the top with cheese and heat up/microwave if you want it temperature hot.

Once the cheese is slightly melted add a big squirt of Ketchup over it all.

Stir slightly and enjoy what every Marine who has ever visited Okinawa has eaten on a Friday night.

So was this something the locals made or Marines made?

[Lexi]

Looks liek something the Marines made. I am not sure if Ketchup is something Philippines eat...

[Cool Hand]

The local filipinas made it to sell to the Marines in Oki. I still make it 15 years later, my wife and kids think it's awesome.
