Ingredients

8 ounces pasta
1 pound lean ground beef
1 cup chopped onion
2 cups chopped celery
salt and ground black pepper to taste
1 (10.75 ounce) can condensed tomato soup
1 (8 ounce) can tomato sauce
1 cup water
2 cups shredded sharp Cheddar cheese

Steps:

In a large pot with boiling salted water cook pasta until al dente. Drain.
Meanwhile, in a large skillet cook ground beef until no pink remains. Add onions and celery and cook until they are softened. Add salt and pepper to taste. Stir in tomato soup, tomato sauce, and water. Simmer for 10 minutes.
In a casserole dish, mix together the cooked and drained pasta with the meat mixture.
