Sorry. I know. I posted it and then realized that the recipe has my husband’s first and last name on it so deleted it right away.

Does this work?
Ingredients:
1 pound extra lean ground beef
1/2 medium onion chopped
1 can mushroom
1 red pepper
1 can tomato paste
1/2 cup heavy cream
2 cups cheese
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1teaspoon chili powder
1 box beef broth
1 bag egg noodles
1/2tsp salt
1tsp pepper

Steps


Add the beef and onions to a soup pot. Cook over medium-high heat until the beef has browned (about 7-10 minutes), breaking the meat up with your spoon as you go along. If there's a lot of excess fat, spoon most of it out.

Stir in the tomato paste, garlic powder, and chili powder.

Add in the beef broth and increase the heat to high. Once it starts boiling, add in the macaroni.

Reduce the heat so it's not furiously boiling (a rapid simmer is good). I ended up cooking mine over medium heat. Let it cook uncovered until the pasta is tender and most of the liquid has been absorbed (about 13-15 minutes). I stir it every couple of minutes.

While it's cooking, grate the cheese (this saves prep time at the start of the recipe).

Take the pot off the heat and stir in the cheese. Season with salt & pepper as needed. I let it sit for a couple minutes prior to serving (soaks up the sauce and flavors more), but you can serve it right away.

Well pat me on the back!~~~I just finished supper, and amazed
myself, I'd bought a Strip Streak with groc delivery on monday,
and tonite I fixed it and it came out great.....reason to brag is
that I'd not cooked a steak in about 5 yrs I believe....but having
that one delivered on my birthday got the taste buds raring for
another one....hooray....:cool:
 
I made another loaf of bread in the bread machine, and this time, I substituted one cup of whole wheat flour for the regular Red Mill bread flour, and 1/2 cup of kefir for part of the water . It turned out good, and even though it is really hot again today, I made minestrone soup to go with the fresh bread, and it made a good supper last night, with leftovers in the fridge for another meal.

Then, I decided to use some of the apples I have been putting in my Ray Peat carrot drink , and make an apple cobbler; so I did that and baked it in the toaster oven.
Now we have dessert for a while, too. This heat wave is supposed to stop around the first part of August, so I am hoping that actually happens, and we have weather that is not over 90+ .
 
@Happyflowerlady, I agree with you about the heat waves. We are in our second "heat wave" over the last week in SW Ohio & have had 90+ & with dew point over 100 real feel. Usually we only have on & that's in August.

I've put off running the oven unless it's early morning or late in the evening. It's too hot to stand outside with the grill.

Can't decide what to make today, but may just have a salad & rummage for left overs.

We are doing pretty much the same here, @Lilac , this year has been bad with the heat. All spring, it seemed like it rained almost every day, and then suddenly went into the hot 90+ summer heat and awful humidity, here in Alabama.

We have mostly had something we can eat cold, like sandwiches or salads, and if I had to use the oven, it is the toaster oven, which will cook things like pizza, or something easy, and not heat up the house like a large oven does.
I had the bread machine in the storage room, and the door closed, and could feel the difference just from the little bread machine. We have the little backyard pool, and cooling off in that every day has helped me a bunch with getting through all of this heat.
