Hillbilly Goulash

1 pound ground beef
1 large onion, finely chopped
2 cups dry macaroni
10 oz. can condensed cream of tomato soup
14-16 oz. can tomatoes
6 oz. can tomato paste
1/2 tsp. each salt and garlic powder
1/2 to 1 cup shredded cheese

Start the ground beef and onion to frying in a large skillet, breaking it up unto small pieces with a fork. Meanwhile start the macaroni cooking. Use a fairly large pot (4 quart or bigger) to boil the macaroni, because you will use it to stir everything together in later. When the macaroni is tender, drain it and put it back into the pot. When the hamburger is cooked, drain off the fat and add the hamburger to the macaroni. Open all three cans and add contents to the pot. Add the salt and garlic powder. Use a big spoon to stir everything together nicely. Reheat and serve sprinkled with the cheese, or turn th goulash into a well oiled 2 quart casserole dish. Sprinkle with the cheese on top. Bake at 400 for 20 minutes. Serves 6
