Ingredients
  

1 pound ground beef

1 can (15 oz) of tomato sauce

2 cups of cooked pasta (elbow macaroni or shells work well)

2 cups shredded cheddar cheese

Instructions
 

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

    In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef until no longer pink; drain the excess grease.

      Stir in the tomato sauce, and mix well until the beef is coated. Bring the mixture to a simmer for about 5 minutes.

        In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked pasta with the beef and tomato mixture. Stir until all the pasta is coated in the sauce.

          Transfer half of the pasta and beef mixture into a greased 9x13-inch casserole dish. Sprinkle 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese evenly on top.

            Layer the remaining pasta and beef mixture on top, followed by the second cup of shredded cheddar cheese.

              Cover the dish with aluminum foil, and bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes. After 20 minutes, remove the foil and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and melted.

                Let it cool for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy your delicious and cheesy creation!
