Here's our family recipe. I'm not sure where mom learned it from but shes been making it this way since she got married in the 70s. I make it the same way, it's a pure nostalgia bomb:

1 lb box of elbow macaroni

1 lb hamburger

1 15 oz can stewed tomatoes

1 small can tomato paste

1 small can tomato sauce

Butter, salt, pepper to taste

Cook pasta according to directions. Drain and add plenty of butter, salt and pepper. Cook hamburger, Drain fat. Add all tomato products to hamburger and heat thoroughly. Mix sauce in with pasta.
