hamburger casserole

submitted by those peeps in Cleveland
While this bad boy might not be the most photogenic dish, it certainly will taste delish. And it is so easy, even a monkey could do it. In fact, Bo made it last week! It's a great choice for the kids- and makes fantastic leftovers.
Ingredients :
1 lb ground beef
2 cans tomato soup (Campbell's)
1 onion (medium)
1 box elbow macaroni
salt and pepper to taste
Dice onion, in a pan brown meat with onion. At the same time cook noodles. Preheat oven to 350. Drain fat from meat. In casserole dish put half of noodles down then half of browned meat, and 1 can of tomato soup. Add some salt and pepper. Next add rest of macaroni, meat and other can of tomato soup. Add salt and pepper. Rinse tomato soup cans out with water and add 2 cans of water to casserole dish. Mix well, put into oven for 25 min or until the top of the casserole is starting to crisp. Serve with ketchup to taste. Makes 8 adult servings (aka 4 Leslie servings**).
Best when served with a cold glass of milk. Or wine. I'll drink for the kids.
**editor's note: while I respect the writer's word, I do not condone the 'heavy' jokes at my expense. Just because I like Rolos and Twinkies doesn't make it right to poke fun
***editor's note x 2: this is a very budget friendly meal, cheaper than a pizza or fast food; kudos to the O'Neill clan for appreciating the value of a dollar and sharing with the family - I also imagine you could make this bad boy ahead of time and keep in the fridge until you're ready to pop it in the oven - bonus points!
