Minna's Mac N' Cheese

I got this from a good friend. It's so easy and really yummy.
Minna's Mac N' Cheese
Serves 4

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

1 onion, chopped fine
1 green bell pepper, diced
1 lb lil' smokies, chopped up
1 heaping tablespoon of butter or margerine + extra for greasing baking dish
1/2 lb macaroni (8 oz.) undercooked by 2-3 minutes
1 can Campbell's cream of chicken soup
1 can Campbell's cream of mushroom soup
1 soup can of milk
4 C shredded cheddar cheese (Tillamook!)

Put pot on to boil for pasta. Chop veggies and meat, a food processor makes this faster. Put butter in frying pan and heat it up. Shred cheese, food processor makes this faster too. Saute veggies and meat. Cook pasta-don't cook till al-dente because it has to finish cooking in the oven. While pasta and veggies are cooking, mix the soups and milk till lumps are gone. Drain pasta and add to frying pan after the veggies are done cooking. Mix. Add cheese and mix. Add mixture to greased baking dish. Bake @ 350 degrees for 30 minutes.

Broccoli would be a good substitute for green pepper, if you're not into green pepper.
