Classic Beefaroni with Ground Beef and Cheese
Ingredients
  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 2 cups shredded Cheddar cheese
  • 2 (15 ounce) cans tomato sauce
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 1 (16 ounce) package uncooked elbow macaroni
  • salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
1
Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit, which is equivalent to 175 degrees Celsius.
2
Crumble the ground beef into a large skillet over medium-high heat, ensuring it's heated evenly. Continue cooking and stirring frequently until the ground beef is uniformly browned. Remove from heat.
3
In a separate large pot, bring a substantial amount of lightly salted water to a rolling boil. Add macaroni and cook until it reaches the desired level of tenderness, approximately 8 minutes. Drain the water and add butter to the macaroni.
4
Transfer the cooked macaroni to a large casserole dish and combine it with the ground beef, tomato sauce, and Cheddar cheese. Sprinkle a pinch of salt and pepper over the top to enhance flavor.
5
Bake the casserole uncovered in the preheated oven for 30 minutes, or until it reaches a heated and bubbly consistency.
