Instructions: Place half of the onion slices in the bottom of a baking pan, 88x2; cover with ground beef breaking it up lightly with a fork, But do not pack down.

Sprinkle with salt, basil, and oregano; top with remaining onion slices; pour tomato soup over.

Bake in moderate oven (375f) 45 minutes or until brown.

Variation;

Double cheese loaf- place onion and ground beef in baking pan, following directions above; spoon 1 cup (8-oz carton) cream style cottage cheese on top, ten add seasonings and soup. Bake as above 30 minutes. Sprinkle with 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese; bake 15 minutes longer

NOTES : I made this with all the onions on the bottom. I think that I might try adding some mushrooms next time. I also do not add the salt as there is more than enough salt in the soup already.
