How to make French onion savory mince
Step 1: Prepare the oven. Preheat it to 180 degrees C. Ready an oven-proof baking dish. Grease and set aside.
Step 2: In salted boiling water, cook the macaroni until just al dente. Drain when done and set aside.
Step 3: Heat the oil in a large frying pan over medium heat. Once hot, add the onion and saute for about 4 minutes or until tender. Then, add the mince and continue to cook while breaking the meat apart using a wooden spoon until no longer pink.
Step 4: To the pan, add the carrots along with the French onion soup mix. Stir well. Add 2 cups of water. Bring everything to a boil. Once boiling, decrease the heat and simmer for about 15 minutes. Then, add the tomato sauce, peas, and drained macaroni. Stir well.
Step 5: Into the prepared baking dish, transfer the mixture, and sprinkle the cheese on top.
Step 6: Place in the preheated oven and bake for about 15 minutes or until the cheese has melted and is golden.
NOTES:
Taste before adjusting the seasoning. Keep in mind that the packet soup mixes can be salty.
For extra stretch, you can add a mixture of mozzarella cheese.
