1 lb. ground beef
3 c. uncooked noodles
2 c. water
1 (8 oz.) can tomato sauce
1 envelope dry onion soup mix
1 c. grated Cheddar cheese

Crumble ground beef into hard plastic colander or plastic hamburger cooker. Place in microwave-safe container to catch grease.

Microwave on 100% power 14-17 minutes or until noodles are tender, stirring twice. Sprinkle cheese over top and microwave (high) 1 minute or until cheese melts.
