My Dad's Ultimate Macaroni and Tomatoes

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 cloves, minced
• 1 small onion, chopped
• 1/4-1/2 teaspoon sage
• 1/4-1/2 teaspoon summer savory (the staple of east coast cooking!)
• 1/4-1/2 teaspoon thyme
• salt and pepper

Directions

1. 1

   Cook macaroni according to directions, drain and set aside.

2. 2

   While macaroni is cooking, saute the onion and garlic in oil, then add ground meat and cook until done.

3. 3

   Combine macaroni with the mushroom soup, mixing well.

4. 4

   Add meat mixture and herbs, and then chopped tomatoes. Mix well.

5. 5

   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.

6. 6

   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.
