I also make this at least once a week, since it's super filling and takes awesome the next day for work lunch leftoverz. I've become so domesticated!

CHEESBURGER MACARONI

1 lb ground beef

1 can Cambell's condensed tomato soup

1 1/3 cup of water

1.5 cups uncooked macaroni

Process cheese

Prep/Cook Time: 30 minutes.

In skillet over medium-high heat, cook beef until beef is browned, stirring to seperate meat.

Pour off fat.
(in the mean time preheat oven to 250)

Add soup and water to the ground beef.

Heat to a boil.

Stir in uncooked macaroni.

Cover and cook over low heat for 15 minutes or until macaroni is done, stirring often.

Once done transfer the macaroni mixture to a casserole dish.

Place pieces of process cheese overtop until completely covered on top.

Put in the oven until the cheese melts.

tho I don't use processed cheese - I just use whatever brick of cheese I've bought and shred it on top. The recipe serves 4, but it's easy enough to double everything and serve a lot more/have a crapload more leftovers for the week (which I do when I have all 5:30-1:30 shifts).

Do you do alcohol? If so, this is one of my favorites, given to me by my former roommate, Sandra, and modified by me to be easier and budget friendlier ( ... )

Also, this not by a long shot my favorite cook book (that would be Mark Bittman's "How to Cook Everything"), but I do owe a lot of my skill in the kitchen to it.

The cutesy rhymes are irritating and metrically out of whack, and it devotes way too much space to frittatas and polenta. That said, I think having read it was what got me beyond needed a recipe and exact ingredients and to a point where I could look at whatever is in my fridge and pantry and make dinner out of it.
