Poverty Meal image

This is a quick, cheap, easy meal to prepare, plus it's also very good! I especially enjoyed this topped with grated parmesan cheese.

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 tablesp. vegetable oil
1 lb. ground beef
1 large onion, chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
salt season to taste (see *note)
pepper season to taste (see *note)
2 (14.5 ounce) cans stewed tomatoes
2 cups water
8 ounces elbow macaroni, uncooked
Garnish: the dish with kraft grated parmesan cheese

Steps:

  • 1. In a large deep skillet, heat the vegetable oil. (I used my chicken fryer when preparing this meal.)
  • 2. Add the ground beef, and cook until the meat has browned 3/4's of the way.
  • 3. Now add the onion and garlic, and finish browning the meat and onion. Drain off any excess grease.
  • 4. Season meat and onion with the salt and pepper.
  • 5. Now add the stewed tomatoes, the can of water, and the uncooked macaroni. Bring to a boil, then lower the heat to almost a simmer. Cook and stir occasionally for 15 to 20 minutes, until the macaroni is cooked through. (Do not cover the skillet while cooking this dish.)
  • 6. Once cooked, serve immediately, and sprinkle each serving with the parmesan cheese.
  • 7. *Note: If desired, you can substitute Lawry's Seasoned Salt for the table salt, and substitute Lawry's Seasoned Black Pepper for the black pepper.
