Ingredients
- 1 1/2 to 2 pounds ground beef
- 2 tablespoons oil
- 1 medium yellow onion, chopped
- 1 green bell pepper, chopped
- 1 can (19 ounce) tomatoes
- 1 can (10 ounce) condensed tomato soup (or tomato sauce, we prefer the tomato soup, I go with 2 cans as we like the extra tomato flavor and creaminess)
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon granulated sugar
- 1 1/2 cups shredded cheddar cheese (or cheese of choice)
- 12 ounces dry pasta (your choice, original recipe calls for elbow macaroni, youngsters love bow ties)
- 2 tablespoons butter, melted (or margarine - to coat pasta)
- 3/4 cup breadcrumbs (for topping, I use the coarse crumbs)
- 2 tablespoons butter, melted (or margarine for the bread crumb topping)
