Ingredients:
1 lb ground beef
1 1/2 cups uncooked elbow macaroni
1 (14 ounce) cans chopped tomatoes
1 medium onions
1/4 cup ketchup
oregano
rosemary
salt
pepper
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
Directions:
Brown the meat and onions till the beef is cooked and drain excess juices. Return to heat and season with salt and pepper.
Meanwhile, while you are browning the meat, cook the macaroni as usual.
Into the ground beef and onions, add your tomatoes,ketchup, rosemary, oregano and salt and pepper, if desired. Stew for around 5 to 8 minutes.
Toss in the cooked and drained macaroni and mix to coat all the macaroni pieces evenly. Let it stew slightly for around 8 minutes.
If you are planning on serving it all at once, turn off the heat and stir in the cheese.
However, when I make it for individual portions, I only top it with the cheese when someone’s gonna eat it, so that they can mix it themselves. That way, if you want to refrigerate or freeze remaining portions, the cheese doesnt get gummy and disgusting.
Enjoy!
