1 14.5oz can stewed tomatoes (chopped into smaller pieces)
1 box macaroni (1lb)
1 tbsp butter/margarine
Salt/Pepper/Italian spices to taste
Brown ground beef and onions, add tomato paste, stewed tomatoes, seasoning, butter and simmer. Cook macaroni according to box directions and mix with beef/tomato mixture.
These days, I usually add minced garlic/peppers/mushrooms and a couple different types of onion. Top with mozzarella and/or fresh parm.
