1 lb extra lean ground sirloin
1 small onion, chopped
16 ounces can tomato sauce
16 ounces can water, use the empty tomato sauce can
16 ounces can diced tomatoes and green chilies, undrained
3 cups uncooked elbow macaroni
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper

1
In a large skillet, brown and crumble the ground sirloin with the chopped onion until no longer pink; drain excess fat, if desired (there shouldn't be that much if you've used the extra lean ground sirloin).

Return cooked beef/onions to skillet. Add the tomato sauce, water, diced tomatoes, dry macaroni and seasonings. Stir well and bring to a boil.
3
Reduce heat to medium-low. Cover tightly and simmer for 12-15 minutes (stirring once or twice) or until macaroni is tender.
4
Add milk and cheese and stir well, until cheese is smooth and melted.
5
Serve.
