Worth it for the name alone.

• 4 oz uncooked corkscrew-shaped macaroni (that would be known as “rotini” to most people in the world)
• 1/2 c. finely chopped onion
• 1/2 cup chopped green pepper
• 1 T. butter or margarine
• 1 can (12 oz) pork luncheon meat, cut into cubes (this would be your SPAM, which apparently is the the only company in America that is actually making money off the recession.)
• 1 can condensed cream of mushroom soup (although Campbells might be giving them a run for their money.  Perhaps they should get together and invent SPAM with the cream of mushroom soup already in it?)
• 1/2 c. catsup (or ketchup)
• 1/3 cup shredded Cheddar cheese

Heat oven to 400. Cook macaroni as directed on package; drain.  In large skillet cook and stir onion and green pepper in butter until onion is tender. Stir in macaroni and remaining ingredients.

Pour into ungreased 1 1/2 qt casserole. Cover; bake 30 minutes.

The true test of a recession recipe is whether or not it has seasoning in it.  When the only seasoning in your recipe comes from the Cream of Mushroom soup, you know you are at the end of the line.  Add some hot sauce.  It will make you feel rich.
