Ingredients
1 pound of pasta shells (medium size) 1 pound of lean ground beef 2 cans (10 oz each) of rich tomato soup 2 cups of cheddar, finely shredded 1 cup of mozzarella, finely shredded 1/2 cup of crystal-clear water Garlic, salt, and pepper for a personalized touch
Instructions
Initiate the process by cooking the pasta shells as advised on the package, then thoroughly drain them.
As the pasta cooks, heat your oven to a cozy 375 degrees Fahrenheit and generously lubricate a 9×13 baking dish.
Meanwhile, in a spacious skillet, infuse your ground beef with flavors of garlic, salt, and pepper (or any spice blend you prefer), until it transforms into a beautifully browned, crumbled mixture.
The next step involves marrying the ingredients. In your skillet, unite the perfectly cooked pasta, tomato soup, a splash of water, and a generous handful (half) of your shredded cheese with the seasoned beef. Stir and simmer this eclectic blend over a medium flame for a fleeting 2-3 minutes.
Transport this sumptuous blend from your skillet into the greased baking dish, paving the way for an even layer. Adorn this layer with the remaining cheese for an added depth of flavor.
Cloak the dish with a foil shield and surrender it to the preheated oven for a good 20 minutes. Once the time lapses, expose your creation by removing the foil and allow an additional 10 minutes for the cheese to turn golden and bubbly (you can flirt with the idea of engaging the broiler for the last 2-3 minutes to achieve a gorgeous bronzed top).
Serve this gastronomical delight piping hot, and if any remains, ensure it finds its way to the fridge, safely stored for up to 3 days.
