Main Ingredients
  • 1 pound Ground Beef The hearty base that adds richness and protein.
  • 8 ounces Pasta (short, such as penne or elbow macaroni) Use any short pasta to absorb the flavors.

  4. In a large bowl, combine the browned beef, cooked pasta, and cream of mushroom soup. Stir until well coated.
  5. Pour the mixture into a greased baking dish and sprinkle cheese over the top.
Baking
  1. Place the dish in the preheated oven for about 20 minutes, until the cheese is bubbly and slightly browned.
