I've been making a meal similar to this for many years and had no idea what to call it...so I chose the name whatchamacallit. My preference of pasta is either elbow or shell macaroni, as it picks up all of that yummy sauce easily and I like to throw in some french cut green beans as well. I'm not sure why ketchup is necessary for this recipe if you're using tomato paste and considering it's already got ground beef...I think I'd rather use beef broth. This is an easy, time saving, delicious meal that everyone will love!

Does this recipe sound like one of those box meals you find in the hamburger helper aisle to anyone else? I have to admit on occasion when I am late on time, I have thrown one of those meals together. Now I no longer have lack of time for an excuse because this meal can easily double as one of those box meals.

A good, tasty and filling family meal and quite easy enough to make on a week night after a busy day. We added a couple of extra flavors, garlic and chili fresh from our vegetable garden, and it was tasty and more-ish. We also grated a little fresh parmesan into the cheese topping and crisped it under the broiler for a couple of minutes.
