my recipe for johnnie wasOTTa

Yes, the name of this recipe really is Johnnie Wasotta, and no I didn't just make that up for the sake of my crazy titles that have OTT in them. This recipe has always been a favorite of mine. When I would come home from college I would request ahead of time that she make it while I was home on break, and now that I'm married and cooking meals for Ott, E and I it's a staple at our house now too.

There is just something about tomatoes and hamburger mixed with noodles and cheese that makes it a go to comfort food. I love the richness of flavor that the tomato soup gives to the recipe, and the texture of the burger and noodles on my tongue when I eat it. Of course it doesn't hurt that it's really easy to make as well.

With just a few ingredients and about 30 minutes of time you too can cook this hearty meal for your family.

And of course I used Red Gold Canned Tomato products whenever possible, because they are processed right here in Indiana.  For more great recipes featuring canned tomatoes be sure to check out my Iron Chef Challenge Linky Party going on this week, sponsored by Red Gold.
