Categories: Beef Dinner
Ingredients
- 1 pound ground beef or turkey
- 1/4 cup chopped onion or 3 Tablespoons dry minced onion
- 4 cups tomato sauce
- 2 cups water
- 2 Tablespoons basil
- 1 Tablespoon oregano
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder or one clove fresh garlic
- Sea salt to taste
- 10 ounces whole wheat pasta, any shape (we like bionature brand)
- 2 cups shredded cheese (we use white cheddar, but you can use mozzarella or any combination of your favorite cheeses)
Directions
-
Brown meat and onion together. Meanwhile, bring tomato sauce, water and herbs and spices to a boil. Stir in pasta and boil until tender. Do not drain. The pasta should have absorbed the liquid! Mix in cooked meat. Salt as desired. Spread mixture into a 9×13 casserole dish and top with cheese. Bake uncovered at 350° for 25 minutes or until cheese is melted and the casserole is heated through and through.
