1 1/2 lbs. ground beef
1/2 box linguine

2 garlic cloves - minced
1 tablespoon butter
2 tablespoons flour

Steps:

Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Brown the ground beef with the onions and garlic. Add the Ro*Tel tomatoes. Cook the linguine for about 6 minutes, it will finish cooking when it is baked. Rinse well in a strainer. Melt the butter in a saucepan. Stir in the flour. Add the milk and whisk until thickened. Add the cheese and stir until melted. Combine the ground beef, linguine and cheese sauce together. Add the cilantro. Stir in the jalapenos. Add salt and pepper to taste. Pour mixture into a greased casserole dish. Bake for 15 - 20 minutes until it starts to bubble and brown. If you made this ahead and it is coming from the refrigerator it will take 45 minutes to bake.
