Step-by-Step Instructions
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and add your macaroni. Cook it until al dente, typically around 8-10 minutes. Drain and set aside.
- In a large skillet, melt 2 tablespoons of butter over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté for about 3-4 minutes until translucent.
- Add one pound of ground beef to the skillet, breaking it apart. Cook for 5-7 minutes until browned. Season with salt and pepper.
- Lower heat and stir in the tomato soup, milk, and cubed Velveeta cheese. Allow to simmer for 4-5 minutes until melted and smooth.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the macaroni with the cheese and meat sauce, folding gently until well-coated.
- Transfer the mixture to a greased 9x13 inch baking dish. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and bake for 25-30 minutes.
- Let the casserole rest for a few minutes, then garnish with freshly chopped parsley or chives before serving.
