Italian Macaroni

Kelly Jenkins Howard (originally from Linda Swinney)

This was a weeknight favorite growing up in my family and it’s now one of Hannah’s favorite dishes. Jeb thinks the name is so silly and redundant — he’s right, but that is what my family has called it my entire life! (Nov 2010)

1 cup large elbow macaroni

1 small onion, chopped fine

1 lb ground beef

1 Tbsp chili powder

1 tsp salt

1/2 tsp pepper

2 (11.5oz) cans tomato juice 

Cook beef and onions in skillet. Make sure meat is broken in small pieces. When meat it done, add chili powder, salt, pepper, tomato juice. Simmer for 20-30 minutes. Add cooked macaroni.
