What's for dinner Wednesday......Pasta Casserole

It's Wednesday...What's for dinner?


I'm making a very easy and quick dinner, but Goose's favorite. It's basically a very picky person's Baked Ziti. When I was little, my mom would make it with egg noodles instead of ziti and my brother and I called it the noodley stuff. The name stuck, so even now as and adult, in our house we call it "Noodley Stuff".

This is a great basic recipe..but it is SO easy to add stuff and make it different each time

Ingredients:

Pasta (Ziti, Penne etc or try egg noodles!)
1 can of Hunt's Meat Sauce (or other tomato sauce)
1 package of ground beef
Mozzarella Cheese (slices or shredded)

Preheat oven to 350. Prepare pasta. Brown beef in the pan, and drain. Once drained, add tomato sauce. Combine sauce mixture and cooked and drained pasta. Mix well. Pour into a casserole dish (9x13) and top with cheese. Bake until the cheese melts and enjoy!

Sometimes we will add 1 bag of shredded Italian blend cheese with the pasta/sauce mix and pour into the casserole dish before topping it with the mozzarella cheese. You could also add ground Italian sausage as well...yum!
