My Dad's Ultimate Macaroni and Tomatoes Recipe

Name: My Dad's Ultimate Macaroni and Tomatoes
Prep time: 15 min
Cook time: 30 min
Total time: 45 min
Yield: 4 servings
Ingredients: 2 cups macaroni (I prefer whole wheat); 1 (28 ounce) can stewed tomatoes (I use whole and chop them myself); 1 (10 ounce) can cream of mushroom soup; 1 lb ground turkey (though my Dad uses beef); 1 -3 garlic clove, minced; 1 small onion, chopped; 14-½ teaspoon sage; 14-½ teaspoon summer savory (the staple of east coast cooking!); 14-½ teaspoon thyme; salt and pepper

Servings: persons

1
Cook macaroni according to directions, drain and set aside.
2
While macaroni is cooking, saute the onion and garlic in oil, then add ground meat and cook until done.
3
Combine macaroni with the mushroom soup, mixing well.
4
Add meat mixture and herbs, and then chopped tomatoes.
5
Mix well.
6
I usually heat the macaroni and tomatoes until just warm, as I find it cools a bit while I get everything finished and mixed together, but that is up to you.
7
I should also add that I tend to enjoy a fair bit of herbs/spices in my food, so when you first try this, you may want to use the smaller amount.
