Homemade Beef Casserole

I'm pretty sure I got this one from my BFF Kat. It's super easy to make, and it's a real kid pleaser.

Homemade Beef Casserole

Ingredients:
1 pound elbow macaroni, cooked
1.5 pounds ground beef
8 ounces or more of shredded cheddar cheese (I use closer to 3 cups)
2 15-ounce cans tomato sauce
1-1/8 zesty Italian spices (or use a mixture of oregano and basil if you don't have this)

Directions:
1. In a large bowl, place macaroni, beef, all but 1 C of cheese, 1-1/2 cans tomato sauce, and one teaspoon Italian spices and mix well.

2. Pour into 13x9 baking dish. Top with remaining 1/2 can tomato sauce and then the rest of the cheese. Sprinkle with remaining spices. Cover with foil and bake at 350° for 30-45 minutes.
