Hamburger Skillet Dinner is a one-pan supper of browned beef, pasta and condensed tomato soup that comes together in about 40 minutes. The contributor learned it while staying with a friend after leaving the Navy, and it was the first dish they ever cooked, which says how forgiving it is. Add beans or extra spices as you like, or stir in chili powder to make a quick chili base.

Instructions

Bring 4 to 6 cups of salted, oiled water to a boil and cook the pasta until it is al dente, tender but still slightly firm to the bite. Drain it well.

While the pasta cooks, sprinkle a 10-inch (25 cm) skillet with garlic salt and minced onion. Add the crumbled beef and brown it, breaking up any large pieces, until no pink remains.

Pour in the condensed tomato soup and cook for a minute or two, stirring, until it is hot and blended with the beef.

Stir the drained pasta into the skillet until every piece is coated in the sauce, then serve.
