5 oz Elbow macaroni; from a "box
- dinner"
1 lb Ground beef
1/2 ts Garlic granules
1/2 ts Onion granules
10 3/4 oz Can cream of mushroom soup
Cheese powder packet; that
- was packaged w/the pasta
14 1/2 oz Can Red Gold diced tomatoes
- with green chilies
Salt & pepper
Start the pasta cooking in a small pot of salted
water.
In a skillet over medium heat cook the hamburger and
break it up until all the pink is gone. Add the onion
and garlic flavourings and let simmer.
Add the condensed soup and the tomatoes with juices,
stirring to combine. Sprinkle the "cheese" powder from
the packet over the mixture in the skillet, stirring
as you do so.
Drain the pasta, reserving a half-cup of the cooking
water. Add the pasta to the skillet. If the mixture
seems too thick add a bit of the reserved pasta water
to your liking. Taste for seasoning and add salt and
pepper as you like.
