Beefaroni

It's 5 o'clock. You have no idea what to make for dinner. You go to your pantry to see what you can throw together. Chances are, you have everything for this meal. 

Ingredients:

1 lb. ground beef

16 oz. elbow macaroni

24 oz. jar pasta sauce

6 oz. can tomato paste

2 1/2 C. shredded cheddar cheese

Directions:

1. Crumble ground beef into skillet, brown and drain.

2. While meat is browning, bring water to boil and cook pasta (about 8 minutes). Drain.

3. Add meat to the pasta. Pour in pasta sauce and tomato paste. Stir.

4. Place in a greased 9x13 casserole. Top with cheddar cheese. 

5. Cook at 350 for 30 minutes or until cheese is melted and sides are bubbly. 

If you're like me and have a small family to feed, then simply freeze half of this recipe and enjoy it later!

(This is only half the recipe, I froze the other half!)
