Prep Time: 20 minutes
Cook Time: 30 minutes
Total Time: 50 minutes

Ingredients

  • 1 (1lb) box medium pasta shells
  • 1lb ground beef
  • 2 (10oz) cans tomato soup
  • 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1 cup mozzarella
  • 1/2 cup water
  • garlic, salt & pepper to toast

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F. Sprinkle a baking dish (approximately 9 * 13) with a cooking spray.
  • Heat the oil in a deep frying pan, put the minced meat, cook over medium heat, frying from all sides, stirring occasionally.
  • Meanwhile, boil the pasta according to the instructions in salted water. Drain the water.
  • Add garlic, salt, and pepper to the minced meat. Pour in tomato soup, add cooked pasta, half a cup of water and half of the total amount of cheese. Stir, cook for 1-2 minutes over medium heat.
  • Put everything in a baking dish, sprinkle evenly with the remaining cheese, cover with foil and bake for about 20 minutes.
  • Remove the foil and cook for another 10 minutes, so that the cheese is slightly browned.
  • Serve immediately, garnishing, if desired, with fresh herbs.

Notes

  • You can boil the pasta until half cooked (al dente), because the casserole will cook in the oven for another half hour.
  • You can add diced onions when frying the ground beef.
  • You can eliminate one of the cheeses by taking only cheddar or only mozzarella. Feel free to choose your favorite cheese.
