Circus Food

Another one of my Grandmother's favorite recipes was for Circus Food.

According to family tradition, my great-great grandmother used to serve food to the workers of the Circus. At that time, they would take whatever they could make in bulk and for a low price and cook it up for all to eat. This is the result.

Ingredients:

  • One pound hamburger
  • Ketchup (you can add as much as you like. I tend to overdo it when it comes to ketchup and...pretty much anything)
  • One box of macaroni noodles
  • One can of baked beans (I prefer the kind with ham because it adds a bit of kick to the recipe)
Again, cook the hamburger and drain the grease. At the same time boil the noodles until they are done. Then add the beans, burger and noodles. You can add as much ketchup as you like, I usually do it so that it is too runny because I'd personally rather have sloppy than dry.

The wonderful family recipe that is fast, cheap and fun for kids of all ages. It has been passed down for generations and is still a family favorite!
