Hamburger Casserole Recipe

Ingredients:

• 1 (1 lb) box of medium pasta shells
• 1 lb ground beef
• 2 (10 oz) cans of tomato soup
• 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
• 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
• 1/2 cup water
• Garlic, salt, and pepper to taste

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Pasta:
   Cook the pasta shells according to the package instructions. Once cooked, drain and set aside.
2. Preheat the Oven:
   Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9×13 inch baking dish.
3. Cook the Beef:
   In a large skillet over medium heat, brown the ground beef, breaking it into crumbles. Season with garlic powder, salt, and pepper, or any preferred seasonings.
4. Combine Ingredients:
   To the skillet with the browned beef, add the cooked pasta, tomato soup, water, and half of the shredded cheddar cheese. Stir well and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes to combine the flavors.
5. Assemble the Casserole:
   Transfer the beef and pasta mixture into the greased baking dish. Sprinkle the remaining cheddar cheese and the mozzarella cheese evenly over the top.
6. Bake:
   Cover the dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes. Then, remove the foil and bake for an additional 10 minutes. For a nicely browned top, you can turn on the broiler for the last 2-3 minutes of baking.
7. Serve:
   Serve the casserole immediately. Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
