Steps:

• In a very large skillet, heat the olive oil. Add the chopped celery and cook a few minutes. Add the cut-up green bell pepper, and cook a few more minutes. Add the onion and continue to cook until celery, peppers, and onions are tender, about 5 minutes. Add the minced garlic and mix into the vegetables. Then add the ground beef, breaking up with a wooden spoon. Continue to cook until the ground beef is browned, about another 5 minutes, mixing the beef up with the vegetables. Sprinkle the mixture with the sugar, basil, oregano, and parsley and mix. Add the stewed tomatoes, juices and all. Add salt and pepper, to taste. Let simmer, covered, stirring occasionally.
• Meanwhile, cook the elbow macaroni, according to the directions on box, in a very large saucepan. But, don't overcook.

PLAIN 'OL AMERICAN CHOP SUEY

Steps:

• 1. Brown the hamburg in a medium size sauce pan until it's about 3/4 of the way done (mostly brown with some pink) and drain the grease. Return beef back to the pan.
• 2. Take the stewed tomatoes and mash them over the pan with your hand. Give them a really good squeeze and really separate the tomatoes into pieces and let the juice fall in. Do this with all of the stewed tomatoes. Pour the remaining juice from the can into the mix.
• 3. Put the entire contents of the can of diced tomatoes and green chilies into the beef mixture.
• 4. Let this sit on the stove on low. Meanwhile, boil your pasta until it is halfway cooked.
• 5. Once the pasta is half-cooked, add it to the meat and cook on low until tender. The extra juices from the tomatoes will really help soften the pasta. **Depending on the type of pasta, I don't always use the entire box. The amount can be added per your individuality.**
• 6. EARLIER PREP OPTION: Once the meat is browned, I put it in a crockpot (while it's off), with the cover on and let it sit until I'm ready to use it.
