French onion savoury mince

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

NOTES

Be sure to taste for seasoning – packet soup mixes can be salty so only add
