Sure! It's one of the recipes I'll eventually scan and upload, but it's further back in the pack and I haven't progressed much. I'll just type it in for now. :) WARNING: this was probably first copied down about 30 years ago, possibly more. It does not anticipate modern stoves, or cookware that aids with convection. I've added my notes on that and other items below.

1 pound hamburger (I substituted turkey, no ill effects)
1/2 pound shell macaroni, half-cooked and drained
1 yellow onion, chopped (chopped fine only if someone dislikes onion; we chopped fairly coarse and it was fine)
1 jar or 1 large can Libby's tomato juice (about 1 quart); more if needed
1/2 tsp paprika
1-1/2 tsp garlic salt

Brown hamburger and onion; pour off excess grease, but leave a bit for flavor. Cook macaroni until partially softened, but not entirely, so it will absorb sauce. Add rest of ingredients to pot, bring to boil. Reduce heat and simmer until tomato juice is nearly absorbed and macaroni is done, about 2-3 hours (editor's note: start checking at 1, mine was done at about 1:15 or 1:30). Add more juice during cooking if needed.

Mom's notes suggest serving with tossed salad and garlic bread; it definitely goes well with the latter, I didn't have the former on hand but I did have fresh veggies, which went nicely.
