Frugal Recipe: Mac ‘n’ Beef







When we first came across this recipe our kids were still living at home and it became a real crowd pleaser. This meal is very quick to prepare and cook and hopefully your crew will like it too.

Ingredients

1 pound ground beef

1 onion, chopped

1 can tomato soup

¾ cup water

1 tbsp prepared mustard

1 small can mushrooms, drained

1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce

½ cup shredded Cheddar cheese

4 cups cooked elbow or shell macaroni

We have also added, in various combinations (depending on what we had on hand at the time): Velveeta cheese, parmesan cheese, green peppers, fresh garlic, 1 can whole corn, 1 can stewed tomatoes.

Directions

Cook beef and onion (and green peppers and fresh garlic if you decide to add them) until done, drain. Add the remaining ingredients and heat through. Yummy!

  1. Ground beef. I like the idea and we have never used it. Next time up...off we go.
