WFMW: Easy Last Minute Meals

I'm glad I checked, because I had a really good WFMW post for this week that I'm sure many of you would've enjoyed, but I remembered this was a theme week, so, in the name of playing nice, I'll comply.
Shannon wants our best last minute meal ideas. I guess this is it. All you need is:

about a pound of ground beef (or ground whatever)
a box of regular old macaroni and cheese
one can of any vegetable that your family will eat
a can of cream of whatever soup
some shredded cheese, if you have it.

Preheat your oven to about 325. Brown the ground beef while cooking the macaroni noodles. When the ground beef is done, drain it, dump in the cooked (and drained) noodles, soup, vegetable and cheese powder from the mac and cheese and mix it all together.
Dump it all in a 13x9 pyrex, top it with the shredded cheese (optional) and stick it in the oven for 10-15 minutes, just to cook all the flavors together. While it's in the oven, pour the drinks, get the plates and silverware out, even do the dishes. Voila, as easy as it gets.

It also makes great leftovers, and the kids usually eat it up. You can also add any random spice you may have in the cabinet (garlic powder, italian seasoning, whatever) to jazz it up a little.
