This is very good!!! The only change I made was that I used elbow macaroni and cooked it before adding it to the meat mixture. I usually do that with any pasta dish I make (even Hamburger Helper). That takes the starch out of the pasta, making the dish taste better. I found that when I put the pasta in the meat mixture before cooking it, the starch in the pasta affects the flavor of the meat mixture and the dish as a whole. Plus, I found that the miat mixture thickens before the pasta can get fully cooked. The pasta comes out kind of gummy. In my opinion, cooking the pasta first prevents that. Since I cooked the pasta first, I didn't need to add as much water as the recipe calls for. I don't think it needs anything else. But then, I can't eat food that is very spicy so this fit in just right. I will definitely be making this again. Thanks for a great recipe NurseDi/ :)

This was okay...it probably would have been better if I used the right noodles; the medium shells. We didn't have any so I used 2 cups of really small macaroni shells-which was another problem because that made more noodles, which needed about 1 1/4 cup more water and was still really thick. Overall though, it is a good way to get your veggies (tomato soup), carbs (noodles), and protien (meat). If I ever have this again, I will be sure to use the right noodles, and maybe add a can of corn for something new. Bec
