Vintage Vittles Vednesday

Here's another vintage recipe! This one is from the 40's and is one of my favorites. It may sound sort of weird with two condensed soups but it's one of those comfort food recipes. Something for a weeknight in the fall when you don't feel like spending a lot of time in the kitchen.

Chili Mac-Spaghetti
1 lb ground beef
1 medium onion
1 10 3/4 oz can cream o mushroom soup
1 10 3/4 oz can tomato soup
1/2 tsp chili powder
1/2 tsp hot sauce
1/4 tsp black pepper
dash of cayenne pepper
1 lb dried spaghetti
1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese

In a large saucepan cook the ground beef and onion until the meat is browned. Drain off excess fat. Add the soups, chili powder, hot sauce, black pepper, and cayenne pepper. Bring to boiling, stirring often; reduce heat. Simmer, covered, about 45 minutes, stirring often.
Meanwhile, cook pasta according to directions. Serve sauce over hot cooked pasta. Sprinkle with cheese; pass additional sauce and cheese. Makes 4 servings.
