INGREDIENTS
1 lb ground beef
1 large onion
1/2 lb dry macaroni
28-oz can and 15-oz can (approximate, sizes vary) inexpensive tomatoes
Quick directions:
Boil noodles. Brown ground beef and onion. Mix it all up with tomatoes.
Step-by-step directions:
- Fill a 4 1/2-quart pan about 1/2 to 2/3 full of water. Add 1 teaspoon salt per quart of water. Heat on high until it is boiling hard. Add 1/2 pound dry macaroni and boil for 7 to 10 minutes. Taste the macaroni as it cooks to see when it is done the way you like it. Drain in a colander.
- Chop the large onion into small pieces.
- In a large skillet on medium heat, break up and brown the ground beef. Put in the chopped onion and cook that at the same time. Cook until the meat loses all its red or pink color and the onion is clear. Drain off the extra fat.
- Put everything together. Put the drained macaroni back in its pan and add the cooked ground beef and onions. Add the 2 cans of tomatoes.
- Turn the heat on medium low and warm the whole thing up. Stir
some to keep it from burning but don’t beat up the macaroni. - Sprinkle on some shredded cheese if you want to.
- Eat and enjoy!
