Introduction
whenever money was tight and it was close to payday, but she had no money, my mother would make this old standard. It would last for a few meals, it was warm and comforting, you could feel the love in every bite. whenever money was tight and it was close to payday, but she had no money, my mother would make this old standard.

Ingredients
-
96% or greater lean ground beef, 1lb. ( I use Laura's organic)
3 small cans of low sodium or no sodium tomato sauce, try to make sure it has no added sugar.
8oz pkg of 2%, 1% or fat-free cheddar cheese or part-skim mozza.
1 reg sized box of whole wheat/plus pasta ( I use Barilla Plus Penne)
1tbsp of lowfat margerine or unsalted butter(which ever one you are watching)
paprika
cayenne
oregano
basil
rosemary
savory
black pepper
garlic
onion
Directions
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
In a good sized pan, boil the water for the pasta, once boiling add pasta.
While pasta is cooking to desired tenderness, brown the seaspned ground beef in a skillet, (I use a small amount of the same seasonings that I am going to put in my sauce.)
In a third med-sized pot, add tomato sauce, margerine, about 1/8 cup of water, seasonings, onion, and garlic, cover and allow to simmer.
Drain pasta and rinse, then place it in a lrg casserole dish.
When meat is brown add it to the pasta.
Add the sauce after it has simmered at least 15mins.
Mix all the ingredients together thoroughly.
Cover with cheese
Place in oven and cook until cheese is golden brown.
If you are organized, cooking in a familiar kitchen and cleaning as you go, this dish will not take the full fifteen minute prep time. It takes me maybe 5mins to get everything cooking, then once cooked it takes a couple of mins. to mix and cover with the cheese. Since everything is done when it goes into the oven you can also cook it at a higher temp.
Serves 10
Size should be no more than a big serving spoon full. I make this in a lrg pyrex casserole dish. I pre-cut it into 10 servings, then take one.

This came out poorly for me. No salt tomato sauce didn't taste very good and it could use more seasonings then I tried. I needed more sauce (with salt) to make it not dry. I think with specific quantities of pasta and tomato sauce along with approx amounts for spices this could be a good recipe. - 1/6/09

my mama called this "poor mans supper" we would have it a lot when I was growing up. She put in what she called a "nickel's worth" of spices (using the palm of your hand pour spices out until it is a nickel's size) Also she only used the Italian seasonings, 1 clove of garlic, and 1/4 of an onion. - 9/14/10
