1950s spaghetti and leftover casserole

Print recipe

Ingredients

  • 1/4 packet spaghetti
  • 1 cup minced meat (any kind)
  • 1 tin condensed tomato soup
  • 1 tablespoon tomato sauce
  • salt and pepper (to taste)
  • 1/2 tablespoon sugar
  • 1 tablespoon paprika

Note

This recipe (Australian Home Beautiful, September 1951) was very simple to cook and tasted like a sweeter version of Spaghetti Bolognese. To dull down the sweetness of the tomato soup in the mixture, adding a wide variety of vegetables would be a good option.
