Ingredients

  • 1 12 lbs ground beef
  • 1 onion, chopped
  • 1 garlic clove, minced
  • 16 ounces tomato sauce
  • 2 teaspoons salt
  • 1 teaspoon chili powder
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 12 lb elbow macaroni
  • 14 teaspoon pepper
  • 1 tablespoon red wine vinegar
  • Tabasco sauce, to taste (I do about 6-7 shakes)
  • 12 lb American cheese (Velveeta is great, but I used Kraft Deli Deluxe slices and loved it)

Method

  • Brown the meat with the onion and garlic in a large pan with a tight-fitting lid (to be used later).
  • Cook over moderate heat until onion is soft.
  • Add remaining ingredients, except cheese.
  • Cover and simmer on low until macaroni is cooked, 15-20 minutes.
  • Mix one-half of cheese into mixture, then top with other half.
  • Cover pan again for another 3-4 minutes over low heat to let cheese melt.
