This was the first thing I could cook. I learned to make it staying with a friend as I was leaving the Navy. For years I have called it "Keith's Whats-it."

Ingredients

• 1 cup uncooked pasta, such as macaroni, elbows, or wagon wheels
• 1 pound (about 500 g) ground beef or hamburger, crumbled
• a sprinkle of garlic salt
• a sprinkle of minced onion
• 1 or 2 cans condensed tomato soup

Procedure

1. Boil pasta al denté in 4-6 cups salted, oiled water, drain.
2. While pasta is cooking, sprinkle 10" (25 cm) skillet with garlic salt and minced onion, and brown beef.
3. Add tomato soup and cook a minute or two.
4. Stir in drained pasta.

Notes, tips and variations

1. May add beans, vary spices, add onions; anything you like!
2. Makes a decent chili base with chili powder added.
3. Good in leftovers, if that is possible.
