Hamburger Maccaroni Casserole

Ingredients:

One pound hamburger (could use less), $2.00
One can tomato sauce, 15 oz., $1.00
1/2 bag(or box) maccaroni, $.50
Onion Powder to taste, $.25(most likely cost will be less when divided among all your recipes)
Grated Cheddar or American cheese to taste, $1.00

Total cost: $4.75
Cooking time: 20 minutes

Directions:

Cook the maccaroni according to package directions. Meanwhile brown the hamburger in a large fry pan. If you aren't using lean meat, drain the fat off when it's cooked. Add the tomato sauce and onion powder. When the maccaroni is cooked, add that as well and stir. When all is heated through sprinkle cheese on top. You can then either stir it up so the cheese mixes with the sauce, or leave it on top. It makes a lot. Our family of five usually has leftovers. We usually serve this with a vegetable such as salad, peas, corn, broccoli, or green beans.
