I thought about tossing the whole works in the oven and topping it with maybe a bread crumb/cheese thing like you do with mac & cheese. Or just toss some cheese on top to melt once it’s served in a bowl. Keep it real, keep it ghetto.

Haha! Awesome. My mom made a ghetto version of this (eg: ground beef + onion powder (wtf?!) + tomatoes + dried oregano and basil + elbow macaroni + cheddar cheese + NOTHING ELSE) when I was a kid. Hers goes in the oven at the end, though. I survived on it last winter when my grocery budget was $20 a week. Note: I managed to afford real onions in mine.
