1 lb. lean ground beef
1 onion, chopped
1 can tomato soup (Campbell's)
1 soup can ketchup (Heinz)
salt, to taste
garlic, to taste
elbow macaroni

Brown ground beef with onion and garlic. Drain. Add salt. Add tomato soup. I use the empty can of soup to measure ketchup. Turn heat down and simmer. While sauce is simmering, cook macaroni. Don't forget to stir sauce once in a while. Drain noodles when cooked. Add sauce and stir well.
