How about posting a simple comfort food/diner food you like?
I was watching Pioneer Woman the other day, and she made her husbands grandmother's Escalloped Cabbage recipe. It sounded so good and simple, and I can't wait to make it.
1 head Cabbage, cut into wedges, and parboiled until barely tender
Drain, and place in a 9x13 pan
Mix in a saucepan:
•1 jar (15 Oz.) Original Cheez Whiz
•1 can (10 Oz) Cream Of Chicken Soup
•1 whole (or 2) Fresh Jalapenos, Seeded And Finely Diced (optional)
•1/4 cup Milk • Paprika To Taste
Stir till smooth, and pour over cabbage.
Bake 30 minutes at 350.

If you ever find yourself in Panama City, Panama, you'll be surprised at how many restaurants have the Johnny Marzetti on their menus. It's kind of the last enduring vestige of US involvement and influence in building the canal.

LOL. On the show, she actually makes it with a white sauce, instead of the soup, but she says that any other method of "improving" the recipe, such as you suggest, never comes out as good. Anyway, I always make a recipe as written the first time, before I change it in any way.
I think there are some foods that are the best with the worst ingredients. Two examples I can think of are.... I only like Sloppy Joes with cheap soft hamburger buns, and all my efforts to improve English Muffin Pizzas with high quality ingredients are never as good.

That sounds awesome. It is pretty close to what we New Englanders called American Chop Suey, except for the chili powder.
Dodie's Meatloaf. Dodie's was a diner in Akron, Ohio, made semi famous when a certain crooked judge owned it. He was chased by Geraldo Rivera with a microphone, who was hoping for an interview.

Mix meatloaf ingredients and place in preheated 350 oven for 15 minutes. Pour sauce over (it will be thin) and continue baking for 1 hour. Baste occasionally. Sauce will cook down and thicken.
