Ingredients
1 pound ground beef
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/3 teaspoon ground black pepper
12 ounces macaroni
1 cup white onion chopped
4 slices bacon
29 ounces Hunt’s Diced Tomatoes (I love the garlic and the fire-roasted) 2 14.5 ounces cans (We used two cans of Rotel to spice it up)
1 cup Cheddar cheese shredded
1 1/2 cups Provolone cheese
Instructions
In a large skillet brown ground beef over medium heat. Season meat with salt and pepper while cooking. Be sure to crumble the beef into small pieces. When the beef is done, drain and set aside.
Boil pasta according to package directions. While the pasta is cooking, dice bacon. In the same skillet where you cooked the beef, add bacon and onions. Cook the bacon until it is fully done, and the onions are translucent. In your casserole dish combine pasta, two cans of diced tomatoes(do not drain the cans) , ground beef, onions, and bacon. Stir to combine. Top with casserole dish with both kinds of cheese.
Bake in a 350-degree oven until the cheese is melted. You may want to brown the cheese by turning on your broiler function for a moment or two.
This was a super quick and easy meal for a “work” night. We changed it up a bit by using Rotel instead of canned tomatoes. For more fun recipes check out the link below.
