5.3 oz. 150g macaroni
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 diced brown onion
1.1 lb. 500g beef mince

Instructions:
Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C) and grease an oven-proof baking dish.
Cook macaroni in salted boiling water until it is just al dente. Drain and set aside.
In a large frypan, heat oil over medium heat. Cook the onion for about 4 minutes until it is soft.
Add the beef mince and cook it until it is well-browned, breaking it apart with a wooden spoon.
Add the diced carrots and French onion soup mix, and stir well.
Pour in 2 cups of water, bring to the boil, then reduce the heat and let it simmer for 15 minutes.
Stir in tomato sauce, peas, and drained macaroni.
Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking dish. Top it with grated cheese and bake it for 15 minutes until it is golden and melted.
