This is fast, easy, and satisfying. I used marinara sauce instead of the tomato soup which was just right for us.

I grew up eating this recipe. My family called it slumgullian. Over the years we have also added to it. Changed the soup to marinara, added green peppers and garlic and mushrooms. Great memories from this recipe.

I changed the recipe a little. I added diced red pepper (about 1/2 a pepper), diced onion (1/2 small onion), tablespoon or so of minced garlic. marinara sauce instead of soup, and about 1/2 cup of beef bouillon. I sauteed the onion, red pepper and garlic in butter. My family loved it.

This was a good comfort food that brought me back to my childhood.

Great easy dish. Family said it reminded them of lunch food but overall it was a good meal. I seasoned myself. The minced garlic, cayenne pepper, 1 can tomato soup, small marinara, worcestershire sauce were key!

very good but need lots of flavor-used plain tomato sauce instead of soup,Rotel tomatoes and chilies,garlic,onion+cayenne powders and anything else I could grab out of my pantry, the spicier the better!

I think the younger generation... just doesn't "GET IT!" This is a mid-century recipe from a simpler time, that sooooo many seniors grew up eating (and loved as kids, I might add). It is what it is! You want to add greem pepper, mushrooms, a sprinkle of cheese; I can understand that. BUT... when people completely change the recipe by using marinara sauce, tomato sauce, stewed tomatoes, diced tomatoes, Italian or Mexican spices; it's just NOT the same recipe! And aren't we all getting a bit tired of the BUZZ word "BLAND", it's so freely used to describe so many recipes on this site. PLEASE... like it or not; rate the recipe as written.

Simple and good dish. Very filling! I like that there are just a few everyday ingredients and that it is quick and easy. Sometimes simple is better.

Good basic recipe. Needed extra seasoning.

This turned out very well for me. I was exoecting a blah boring dish, but I was surprised at how tasty mine was. Of course I tweaked a wee bit so it was probably a result of my adjustments that made a difference. First of all, I used dried minced onion about 2 T and 1/2 tsp onion powder instead of using fresh. 1 onion is a whole lot, so I wouldn't recommend using THAT much unless you really love the flavor. I also seasoned the meat with a sprinkle of garlic salt and some Season All and a few grinds of black pepper. I used lean beef so it did not require draining. After the beef browned I tossed the dry pasta right in with a little olive oil and sauteed it first for a few minutes before adding the soup and then I started with about 2 cups of chicken broth and simmered the whole thing until the noodles were done. I added a bit more broth as needed while it simmered. I really loved the end result and it turned out rich and tomatoey and had a nice sauce. I don't think by following the original though and skipping the simmer, you won't get the same end result I did. My result was a 4 star dish, but I want to rate this as it is written, so I am only going to give it a 3 to be fair and not try to mislead people whose dish doesn't turn out quite like mine. Thanks for the great base recipe, I had fun tweaking and turning it into my own yummy creation!
