- 1 lb hamburger or meat substitute
- 1 can stewed tomatoes
- 2 cups tomato juice
- 2½ cups water
- 2 tablespoons chile powder
- 1½ tablespoons sugar
- 1 teaspoon garlic salt

## Instructions

1. Brown the meat and chopped onion.
2. Add tomatoes, tomato juice, water, and spices.
3. Simmer for about 15 minutes.
4. Cook and drain the macaroni separately.

## Tips

- Chile powder here is the mild blended kind, not pure ground chiles.
- Meat substitute works if you want a vegetarian version; brown it with the onion the same way.
