I found this simple skillet recipe many years ago on a can label. I made some tweaks, and my family loved it. Because it's so easy to put together, it's a real timesaver for people with super busy schedules. &mdash;Maxine Neuhauser, Arcadia, California

I cannot for the life of me get pasta dishes where the dry pasta is cooked in the sauce to come out where the pasta does not end up gummy. I did like the flavor on this with the peppers and Worcestershire.

I got this recipe off the back of a matchbook cover when I was a teenager.  I am now a grandmother and I still make it.

This was pretty good. Reminds me of a hamburger dish my mom use to make. Only used 1 Lb. beef. Still turned out good. I also put in a can of diced tomatoes so it wasn't dry at all.

I was looking for a recipe like this without chili, cheese, Italian sauce, or a bunch of ingredients. I read this and thought it sounded a little bland. I was so pleasantly surprised--it's delicious! I've made it several times and been happy every time--there are usually no leftovers. My family loves it.

This is such a go to for a busy working Mom like myself. Easy ingredients most things people would have on hand. Easy to prepare and you can get this on the table in no time. Very similar to a goolash.

Came out great, my family loved it. Was in the mood for some home cooking flavors. I added 1 jalape?o with no seeds cause I like it a little spicy..I didn't use the warsc. sauce and half way through I needed about a cup more of water. ..my wife said we should try it with a can of pinto beans in it next time..will do.

I'd reviewed this recipe on 8/12/2019, but I have not seen it come up! My change with ingredients was using 2 cans of Italian-style tomato sauce since I'd had it on hand. I did use my 6-qt. stockpot and as the contributor had suggested, I did add more water as needed!  This is a delicious recipe!

I made this recipe for a potluck and it was a huge hit - I made a double batch and none came home :) I did make a few changes though. Instead of the tomato sauce I used one can NN small diced tomatoes with green pepper, celery and onion and one can Hunts diced tomatoes with basil oregano and garlic. (because I doubled the recipe) and I added a generous sprinkling of granulated garlic. Even my picky husband liked it. I'll definitely be making this one again.

Easy and tasty!  I like to have a few simple recipes on hand to make a quick meal.  This one will be one of them!

Very good and very easy.  Nice quick weeknight meal.

This is my go to for macaroni and beef. We love it and have been making for years.

My finicky family loved this! I used 1 pound of very lean ground beef and about 2 oz more pasta than the recipe stated. I also used whole grain elbow pasta, which is a little firmer and richer in taste. I am planning to use ground turkey next time to save a little money. Great family recipe.

DH made this delicious recipe.  He used a little less burger and added more vegetables.  As suggested he added some garlic powder, and for a little zip, he threw in some jalapeno.  Great dish!

Five stars for being fast, easy and tasty.  Thanks!

Simple and quick, easy on the budget, and very tasty! I served it with a green salad to round out the meal. Perfect weeknight dinner.

I made this tonight and it was just o.k.   The macaroni wasn't done & there wasn't enough liquid to continue cooking it.  If I made this again I would add more liquid or less macaroni.  I did add a little chili powder but it still needed something.  I have made a similar recipe in the past which called for spicy v8 rather than tomato sauce & I prefer that over this one.  Not a keeper.

I gave this 5 stars just for the fact that all 7 people in my house ate it without 1 complaint!  This is super quick and easy.  I made a few tweaks.  I used lean ground turkey instead of ground beef, used more salt and pepper than what was listed, threw in some garlic powder, and added 1/2 cup more water than the recipe called for.

For a hearty one pot meal drop in a can of Bush's Original Vegetarian Baked Beans.  Adds a mellow sweetness to the sauce.  Yummm.

Saw this recipe in the April/May Taste of Hame magazine, and just had to try it.  Made it tonight and was pleasantly surprised.  Being so simple and fast, I was leary it may be a little bland, but not the case.  Only change I made was adding some corn, and a cup of tomato juice for added moisture. Very flavorful and fast.

Love this delicious dish. Only change I made was to use one pound ground beef and cook the macaroni separately then add it to the skillet. This is not only quick and easy but also delicious. If you have a big family, you may want to double the recipe. We got three helpings out of it but we were hungry. Definitely a 5-star recipe.

Quick, easy, and delicious.  I have made this 5 times since finding the recipe.
