Hamburger and Macaroni Hot Dish
  1. 1

    Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook elbow macaroni in the boiling water, stirring occasionally, until slightly firm, 8 minutes; drain.

  2. 2

    Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add ground beef and minced onion; cook and stir until nearly browned and crumbly, 5 to 7 minutes. Add garlic; cook until the beef is browned, 2 to 3 minutes more. Drain and discard the excess grease.

  3. 3

    Stir the macaroni, tomato soup, corn, Italian seasoning, and seasoned salt into the ground beef mixture; place American cheese slices on top. Cover the skillet until the cheese melts, 2 to 3 minutes; then stir well.
