Recipe: Marion's Skokie Casserole (from Frugal Gourmet) - Ruth, don't know if this is the one....

Looked thru my Frugal Gourmet cookbooks, I know yours came from a magazine, but perhaps this is close. Calls for macaroni instead of ziti.

Heat the pan again and add the remaining 2 Tablespoons of oil. Add the garlic, onion and green bell pepper. Saute until tender and remove to a large bowl.

Combine the cooked macaroni and browned ground beef with the sauteed vegetables. Add the stewed tomatoes, thawed corn and salt tand pepper to taste. Mix together until all is incorporated. Place the mixture in a large greased casserole and top with the crushed potato chips and cheddar cheese.
