Family Recipes

Do you have any recipes that have been passed down from your grandparents? Post them here. These type of recipes are usually really good. I have two from my Dad's mom that I will post soon. One is at home and one is buried in this computer and will take me a few minutes to find.

I'll post some of my great grandmother's recipes when I get a chance. Good idea!

This was my grandmother's - it's really easy & one of my kids' favorites:

1 lb cooked pasta (she used egg noodles but I usually use macaroni or rotini)
1 lb browned, ground beef/turkey
1 26 oz can Ranch Style Beans
1 15 oz can tomato sauce
Salt, pepper & garlic powder to taste
2 cups grated cheddar cheese
