MARBLED MACARONI

This old recipe came with the following recommendation: "Unexpected company and not quite enough to go around?  One can of luncheon meat (SPAM) and a package of macaroni can come to the rescue and your guests will think you planned your meal that way."  Your company will think you planned to serve SPAM?  Somehow I doubt it!

1 10-oz can condensed cream of celery soup
1 tsp Worcestershire sauce
8 ounces elbow macaroni (uncooked)
1 8-oz can tomato sauce
1 tablespoon flour
1 12-oz can luncheon meat
dash pepper
1/4 cup finely chopped onion
dash paprika
1/2 cup shredded American cheese
buttered breadcrumbs
1/4 cup chopped green pepper

Cook macaroni in boiling salted water until tender, about 7 minutes. Drain. Blend together tomato sauce with flour.  Cook until thick, stirring constantly. Combine tomato mixture, meat which has been cut in 1/4-inch squares, onion, green pepper, Worcestershire sauce and pepper.  Stir soup until smooth then mix lightly with macaroni.  Spread half of macaroni mixture in greased 9-inch square baking dish. Cover with meat sauce, then with remaining macaroni mixture. Sprinkle with cheese, then with buttered breadcrumbs and paprika. Bake in moderate oven (350) 35 to 40 minutes.  Makes 4 to 6 servings.
