Another, which is Italian style is very tasty, too.

Italian Macaroni and Cheese


1 lb ground chuck
1 can (16-oz) can tomatoes
1/3 cup tomato paste
1 tablespoon minced onions (instant or fresh)
1/4 cup water
1 teaspoon sugar
1/2 teaspoon garlic salt
1/2 teaspoon oregano
1/2 teaspoon Italian seasoning
Dash pepper
2 cups cooked shell macaroni
1 cup cream style cottage cheese
2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese
1 1/2 cups sharp cheddar cheese grated

Cook meat until it loses its red color & drain. Add tomatoes, tomato paste, onion and water. Stir in sugar, garlic salt, oregano, Italian seasoning and pepper. Simmer slowly 30 minutes. Combine macaroni & cottage cheese. Put a little meat sauce in the bottom of a 2 1/2 quart casserole dish. Top with half macaroni mixture, half the shredded Cheddar and half the remaining meat sauce. Repeat layers ending with the sauce. Sprinkle Parmesan over the top.

In preheated 325 F oven bake 40 minutes, or until heated through.
