CHEESY LAYERED GROUND BEEF AND PASTA CASSEROLE



Cheesy Layered Ground Beef and Pasta Casserole image

This is a great casserole, it tastes similar to lasagna. You can also top with grated cheese the last 15 minutes of baking if desired, I also like to add in some green bell pepper and dried chili flakes for heat but that is optional.
