1 lg. onion, chopped
1&1/2 lbs. ground beef (may use other meats or seafood, or a combination of meats and/or seafood totaling 1&1/2 lbs.)
1 can tomatoes, undrained (use a large can if you want lots of tomatoes, small can for less tomatoes)
1 can tomato paste
Cook the macaroni or rice accordingly. In a large skillet, cook onion, on medium heat, in spoonful of margarine or cooking oil*. Add ground beef broken in bits. After beef is cooked, add tomato paste and tomatoes. You may add seasonings to taste at this point. If you chose rice, stir in the rice. Increase the heat to bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low and simmer 10-15 min, stirring occasionally. If you chose macaroni, then add the macaroni after simmering.
*For lower fat alternative, may omit margarine or cooking oil and cook the onion in with the beef which has its own fat. You may also drain the fat after the beef is cooked. Then add remaining ingredients as above.
