This is an easy and quick recipe that my Grandmother makes often. It's a long time family favorite. She likes to clip recipes out of the local newspaper so that's probably where this came from. My children, ages 6 and 7, love this dish.
Ingredients:
1 lb lean ground beef
2 tablespoons instant minced onion or 1 medium onion, chopped
1 tablespoon chili powder
1 (8 ounce) can tomato sauce
1 cup elbow macaroni, uncooked
salt and pepper
1 cup cheddar cheese, shredded
Directions:
1. Boil macaroni in salted water. Drain.
2. Brown ground beef with onion until fully cooked. Drain excess fat if necessary.
3. Add chili powder, cooking a little longer, then add tomato sauce.
4. Season to taste with salt and pepper, continuing to simmer.
5. Stir in cooked macaroni and half of the cheese, mixing well.
6. Remove from heat, sprinkle remaining cheese on top and cover so cheese will melt.
