Cheeseburger Macaroni

Ingredients:

1 1/2 – 2 lbs. ground beef.

1 small onion, diced.

1 Tbsp. Emeril’s Essence original seasoning  (You can buy a jar or make your own with this recipe.)

1 box elbow macaroni pasta.

1 29-oz. can tomato sauce.

salt and pepper to taste.

2 c. shredded cheddar cheese.

Directions:

Add ground beef and onion to a large skillet or pot, along with Emeril’s Essence, a pinch of salt, and a few grinds of fresh pepper.  Cook until meat is no longer pink.  Drain meat mixture, if necessary, to get rid of any extra grease.  In the meantime, bring a pot of salted water to a boil and cook macaroni according to package directions.

When pasta is done, drain; then add pasta and tomato sauce to beef mixture.  Turn temperature to low-medium and cook until sauce is heated.  Add cheddar cheese and stir until melted and combined.
