    One of my fave dish that i love cooking for my kid. We love pasta that's why!

    Ingredients

    • 1 pound lean ground beef (ground chuck or ground round)
    • 1/2 cup chopped onion
    • 1 green bell pepper, chopped, about 1/2 cup
    • 1 can (14.5 ounces) diced tomatoes, undrained
    • 1 can (8 ounces) tomato sauce

    • 1/4 teaspoon pepper
    • 8 ounces ziti or elbow macaroni, cooked and drained
    • 2 cups (8 ounces) shredded mozzarella cheese, divided

    Directions

Drain off excess fat; add tomatoes, tomato sauce, basil, oregano, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Stir well; stir in ziti or elbow macaroni and 1 cup of the cheese; transfer to a 2 1/2-quart casserole. Top with the remaining cup of cheese.
