* ingredients :
°1 pound minced meat
°2/3 cup chopped onion
°Ground black pepper to taste
°2 teaspoons minced garlic
°1 cup dry pasta
°1 15-oz can tomato sauce (or 2 8-0 cans)
°1 jar homemade canned tomatoes, diced, or 1 can low-sodium diced tomatoes
°1 teaspoon soy sauce
°1 teaspoon sugar
°1 teaspoon dried thyme
°2 teaspoons dried basil
°1 teaspoon dried parsley
°1 C cheddar cheese
°1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
* Directions :
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees and put a pot of water on the fire until it boils for the pasta. In skillet on heat, adding burgers & chop onions, then brushing with handful of black pepper. Cooking to beef turns brown also onions are translucent. In last minute or so, adding garlic. Strain out any grease if necessary.
When water boils about pasta, adding pasta also simmer to just before done, & drain and set apart. Meantime, adding tomato sauce, diced tomatoes, soy sauce, sugar, & herbs to ground beef also stirring well.
Or you can be like me & forget parsley to later. Next add the cheddar cheese (or maybe parsley if you forgot) and mix until the cheese melts. Stir in the cooked pasta until blended.
Pour into a 2-liter casserole dish sprayed with oil. Top with mozzarella cheese and bake for 30 minutes.
Let it rest for 5 minutes, then serve with buttered bread and salad if you like.
Enjoy !
