3 tomatoes, large and ripe
5 cups water
1 lb macaroni (the elbow macaroni in short pieces, 500g)
2 teaspoons salt
1 teaspoon black pepper
2 teaspoons dried basil
1/4 teaspoon sugar
2 tablespoons oil
1 onion, peeled and finely chopped
4 ounces bacon, chopped into large pieces (125 g)
1 lb ground beef (500g)
8 ounces cheddar cheese, grated (250 g)

1
Heat oven to 325u00b0F/160u00b0C, and grease an oven dish.
2
Peel the tomatoes and chop into pieces.
3
Heat the water to boiling, and add the macaroni little by little (to keep the water boiling).

Also add the tomatoes, salt, pepper and basil, stir now and then, and cook without a lid until the macaroni is tender and the mixture is sort of saucy.
5
While that is cooking, fry the onion and bacon in a little oil until softened and cooked.
6
Add the ground beef, and stir with a fork to loosen the meat. Stir until cooked through.
7
Ladle the macaroni mixture into the greased oven dish. Spread half the meat mixture over the top, and then half the grated cheddar.
8
Add rest of the meat, then the last of the cheddar.
9
Bake, open, in the preheated oven until heated through and the cheese is melted.
