"My Mom has been making this for years. The recipe calls for ketchup and cheddar cheese but can be made with traditional tomato sauce and your favorite Italian cheese." — Kristen

Directions

Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Add pasta and cook for 8 to 10 minutes or until al dente; drain and reserve.
Preheat oven to 300 degrees F (150 degrees C).
In a large skillet, brown ground beef until no longer pink; drain reserving 1 tablespoon of drippings in pan. Set beef aside. In skillet saute onion, green bell pepper and garlic until just soft. Combine browned beef, ketchup, oregano, salt and pepper with onion mixture; mix well.
Pour mixture into a 9x13 inch baking dish. On top of mixture, layer pasta and then sprinkle on cheese. Bake in preheated oven until cheese is melted.

Great easy dinner! I took other review suggestions: used jar spaghetti sauce instead of ketchup. I also cooked the meat with worchestershire sauce (dad's secret weapon in pasta) and added minced garlic. added italian seasoning, paprika and onion powder. Came out delicous and husband loves it! Tastes great served with garlic bread and a salad.

Eh....it was good, I used the ketchup as recipe said and kind of regretted it, it was a little too sweet for my tastes. So, if I made it again, I would use spag. sauce as others did. I didn't use the pepper and didn't miss it. If I were to add anything else it would be mushrooms. I also used mozzerella instead of cheddar and I would use it again, I love mozzerella.

Delicious! I sub'ed in spaghetti sauce for the ketchup and used a bit more cheese - and it turned out fantastic! Didn't make it to left overs however, didn't last! A definate "make-again-soon" recipe. Thanks for sharing!

This was suprisingly very good. It contains such simple ingredients, but in the end they blend together nicely. Very easy to make and very tasty. I recommend you try it!!!

FOCUS: if you use a jar of spaghetti sauce you just made plain ol' spaghetti. most of the reviews werent helpful at all. oddly enough the ketchup works. i didnt have a garlic clove so i used garlic powder. hubby and toddler both ate it all up. no leftovers.
