Mine is a poor mans recipe ..after all it had to feed a family of 12 and neighbors who seemed to be around all the time. Plus I throw the ingredients in without measuring.
Ground chuck
Elbow macroni
Onions/onion salt/pepper...cut onions very small to hid putting them (some kids complain if they see them) in while frying the ground chuck.
(Ground chuck/onion salt/onions/paprika(generously)/ginger/fry in olive oil.
Boil the macroni and drain all but 1/4 cup of the hot water.
Mix the macaroni and beef in a large casserole pan and put a small amount of tomato sauce/catsup(Hunt's...no corn syrup/more than the t sauce...so very generously)Stir well.
Cut 1/4 thick slices of Monterey Jack cheese(important you use this type of cheese..because chef's use this because of it melting ability and consistency.
I sprinkle pepper on top and place a lid on....very low heat.

That sounds good. My mom used to make “Chile mac”. Macaroni, ground beef, onion, Chile powder, tomato sauce, corn and cheese. I used to make it when I had a big family at home.
