I looked through all, many similar, but mine enough different I decided it warranted being submitted separately. My granddaughter wrote and asked for the recipe - what recipe? - so I wrote back and told her how I usually made it. But it's a little different now. I wish I'd had some green and red peppers but passed them up at the store. It turned out nice but am hoping the flavors will blend together overnight. I make my Italian meat sauce similarly but use garlic and Italian spices which I don't for this. I used 2 packets of Swanson Flavor Boost, and the editor will not recognize it. It's very concentrated broth and new on the market.

Steps:
- Start cooking the pasta shells in 3 quarts of boiling water to which a few drops of salad oil and a little salt were added; stir occasionally.
- Cook eleven minutes for well done, drain, don't rinse, set aside.
- Next I browned the onions in some margarine and scraped into small dish to set aside until the meat is browned.
- Turned up the heat and put in the ground beef, started breaking it up with spatula.
- Continued to brown the beef and break up with a little cookie-cutter type chopper with sharp, scalloped teeth (use whatever you prefer as a utensil.
- Brown to me is parts are actually a nice brown, not just stirring around until all the pink is gone; it helps with the flavor.
- When beef was browned to my satisfaction, put the onions back into the skillet with the browned, broken-up beef.
- Added the tomato paste, diced tomatoes and water, stirred on low heat.
- Add the flavor booster and did a taste test because it's salty, just right.
- To avoid over salting,I didn't use any salt except what I boiled the shells in until I added the booster (it's concentrated).
- Add the seasoned salt, seasoned pepper blend, parsley, Worcestershire sauce and cheese.
- If it's too thick, add a little more water; if too watery, cook it down while stirring, doesn't take long.
- Can be eaten right away, baked in oven, frozen, or made a day ahead.
- Add ground pepper to taste when served.
