This recipe needs to be reworked. I made something similiar. I browned a lb. ground chuck with one small onion. I seasoned the ground chuck with garlic salt. After draining, I added 2 tbs of tamato paste. Then I added one can of Ro-Tel, one can of mushroom soup, cooked macaroni (one cup raw) and about 1/2 lb Velveeta cheese. (Next time I will also put green peppers in). My husband really liked this and it was easy.

Loved it, but would have added a little bit of cheese to it. SO easy and not bad on the calories!

I only had kraft Velveeta cheese shells, and I also added 1 teaspoon of Garlic and about a 1/2 cup of green onions, and a hint of curry! This was easy, fast and a great meal for a family of five! My kids went nuts for ....now we have it once a week! Also a great side dish for family gatherings!

I cooked this for my Fiancee and I as a quick meal after Church activities.....I thought it was really good but He didn't care for it to much, said it didn't have enough taste....I think next time I'll through in some onion and tomato paste
