Servings: 8
Ingredients
- 1 (1lb) box medium pasta shells
- 1lb ground beef
- 2 (10oz) cans tomato soup
- 2 cups shredded cheddar
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella
- 1/2 cup water
- garlilc, salt, & pepper to taste
Instructions
- Cook and drain the pasta according to the package directions.
- Meanwhile, preheat your oven to 375° F and grease a 9x13 baking dish.
- In a large skillet, brown and chop the ground beef with the seasoning of your choice such as garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
- Add the cooked pasta, tomato soup, water and HALF of the cheese to your skillet with the browned beef; stir and cook for 2-3 minutes over medium heat.
- Pour the mixture into your greased dish and top with the remaining cheese.
- Cover with foil and bake for 20 minutes. Uncover and continue baking for an additional 10 minutes. I also like to turn the broiler on for the last 2-3 minutes to brown the cheese.
- Serve immediately and store any leftovers in the fridge for up to 3 days.
Notes
- You don't have to use mozzarella for this dish if you'd rather use 100% cheddar instead. Your preference! I like the mozzarella because it makes the cheese extra gooey.
- You can also add a diced onion or onion powder to the beef mixture. My kids don't care much for onion, so I always leave it out.
