Sloppy Joe Pasta is not the prettiest dish, but how can you go wrong with the combination of shell pasta, sloppy joe ingredients, and three kinds of cheese?
Sloppy Joe Pasta
1 pound ground beef
1 envelope sloppy joe seasoning mix
1 cup water
1 (8 oz.) can tomato sauce
1 (6 oz.) can tomato paste
2 cups dry small shell pasta, cooked and drained
1 1/2 cups 4% cottage cheese
Shredded sharp cheddar cheese
Grated parmesan cheese
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In a 5 qt. saute pan, cook beef over medium heat until no longer pink; drain. Stir in the sloppy joe mix, water, tomato sauce and paste; heat through. Remove from heat; stir in cooked pasta. Spoon half into a 2.5 qt. baking dish (I use a 7x11 baker) sprayed with cooking spray. Top with cottage cheese and then the remaining pasta mixture. Liberally sprinkle desired amounts of cheddar cheese and parmesan cheese on top. Bake, uncovered, at 350 degrees for 30-35 minutes until bubbly and cheese is melted. Serve with additional grated parmesan cheese.
