I have always loved mac-n-cheese, and this variation is one of my favorites!

• 1 pound of browned hamburger
  

• 1 1/2 cups of grated cheddar cheese
  

• 2 cups cooked macaroni (or egg noodles; I prefer to use egg noodles myself)
  

• Parmesan cheese to sprinkle on top
  

• 1 can cream of mushroom soup
  

Combine hamburger and macaroni (or egg noodles) in a large baking dish. Add cream of mushroom soup and mix well. Stir in cheddar cheese. Sprinkle Parmesan cheese on top. Bake in 350 degree oven for 25 minutes. Makes 4 to 6 servings.
