1. 1

   ["Cook macaroni until tender and drain. Saute onion in pan with olive oil until tender. Add Lipton ""beefy"" onion soup mix to pan with onion, and add enough water to dissolve package without making veggie crumble mix into a watery soup. Add package of veggie, faux beef crumbles (or cooked and drained ground beef or steak). Add oregano and cook until dehydrated onion in ""beefy"" soup mix is fully re-hydrated and tender. Taste combination and add salt, pepper, and garlic as needed to taste. (This is critical. This mixture must taste good to YOU before you bake this dish, or all bets are off. You have to taste this and season to satisfy you, particularly given the cost of the cheese.)", "", "In a rectangular casserole pan, spread veggie crumble and onion mixture after you have seasoned mixture to your taste. Mix one package of Mozzarella and sharp cheddar cheese along with Alfredo sauce, 1/4 tsp. garlic (unless you are using garlic Alfredo), 1 tsp. oregano, and 1 tsp. basil into macaroni and spread on top of veggie crumble mixture on bottom of pan. Top with second package of Mozzarella cheese. Preheat oven to 350 degrees and bake for 30 to 40 minutes on middle rack position of oven."]
