Johnny Marzetti - One of the most important dishes in modern American cooking!

Описание: The Johnny Marzetti Casserole is, in my opinion, one of the most important and influential dishes in modern American cooking. It’s the forerunner of countless American casseroles — simple, hearty, and designed to feed families on a budget.
Created around 1910 by Teresa Marzetti in Columbus, Ohio, this humble combination of ground beef, onion, tomato sauce, pasta, and cheese became the blueprint for generations of baked dinners. From this one recipe, the entire “American casserole” tradition was born — stretching from church suppers to weeknight classics across the country.
It even inspired parallels abroad — the British “spag bol” (spaghetti bolognese) shares the same DNA: minced beef, mushrooms, onions, garlic, tomato sauce, and pasta.
A true icon of comfort food history — simple, timeless, and still just as satisfying today.
