Beefy Macaroni Dinner

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees

Ingredients:

1/2 lb macaroni
2 tblsp vegetable oil
2 tsp garlic powder
1 lb ground beef
3 cups tomatoes crushed
1 tsp salt
1/2 tsp pepper
2 tsp chili powder
2 tsp ground cumin
2 tsp dried oregano

Separately boil your macaroni usually about 6=8 minutes or until just almost done. It will bake a little more later to finish it.

Brown in skillet the ground beef and the onion powder.

Drain off excess fat very well.

Put the beef back in the skillet and add all the other ingredients, stirring in well over medium heat. When it’s all blended together pour the beef mixture and the drained macaroni into a casserole dish.

9 x 13 casserole dish and bake at 350 degrees for 20 minutes.

Can top with 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese at this point and turn on broiler for a couple of minutes just to brown cheese and melt it.

It’s done and you will have a fantastic meal.
