Hi Nancy,
First off, good luck with the hand surgery. Hope all goes well and your furry friends take great care of you during your recovery. I was so sorry to hear of your accident. Your weather is like what we are having here in central OK, so I know you were miserable during your wait besides having the anxiety over the mishap.

I grew up with my mother preparing what she called Mazetti, but I never got the recipe from her, I thought. I wrote down my remembered version and later did find her recipe after her death.

Mazetti
In a large skillet brown 1lb. ground beef with 1/2 C. diced onion, one half of a green pepper, diced and 1t. each of garlic powder and chili powder.
Mix 1 can of tomato soup and 1 can cream of mushroom soup with 1 can of water. Put aside. Cover the beef mixture with dry tiny soup noodles (mine are found in the Mexican food section and are called Fideo noodles).
Pour the soup mixture over all, DO NOT MIX, and cook for 25 minutes on medium/low heat. Top with 1C. shredded cheese and cook for 5 more minutes.
