Directions
-
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). A tremendous start to cooking, this step ensures your oven is ready for the cheesy goodness ahead.
-
Cook the pasta according to package instructions until al dente; drain and set aside. This will provide a delightful texture to your bake.
-
In a skillet, cook the ground beef over medium heat until browned. Drain excess fat. A perfectly browned beef guarantees a tremendous depth of flavor in each bite.
-
Add the diced tomatoes, beef broth, onion powder, garlic powder, and salt and pepper to the skillet. Stir until combined. This mixture adds a wonderful sauce that ties all the ingredients together beautifully.

Transfer the mixture to a greased baking dish and top with the remaining cheddar cheese. This sunny golden layer will become your ultimate comfort food topping.
