BEEF AND PASTA BAKE - THE BEST!
I have tried so many pasta bakes but this one from the Australian Women's Weekly is still the best IMHO! Easy and very delicious, reheats great and everyone loves it - what more could you want! I've tried to translate the recipe into American as much as possible; hope you enjoy it as much as my family does.

- Don't overcrowd the pan: If you add too much beef or pasta to the pan at once, it will not cook evenly.
- Brown the beef in batches: If you are using a lot of beef, you may need to brown it in batches. Just be sure to drain the grease after each batch.
- Cook the pasta according to the package directions: This will ensure that the pasta is cooked to your desired doneness.
- Add the pasta to the skillet with the beef and sauce: Once the pasta is cooked, drain it and add it to the skillet with the beef and sauce.
- Stir in the cheese: Once the pasta is added to the skillet, stir in the cheese until it is melted and combined.
- Serve immediately: This dish is best served hot and fresh out of the oven.
