I tried this recipe today and it turned out perfect! I’m a casserole kinda girl so this was right up my alley. I cooked my pasta in a separate pot and used pasta water to thicken the sauce. I like that this is a definite tomato sauce but doesn’t have all the italian spices in it…the Worcestershire sauce gives the end dish a nice flavor. I will make this again!

I totally agree about more veggies–for the kids and stretching purposes 🙂 That’s the beauty of these recipes. They’re great as-is but can be dressed up in many ways!!!

You can drain if you want to do it, but for these things I use 93% lean so it wasn’t necessary.

Your recipe is seriously delicious! I’ve been making a dish very similar to this one ever since I got maried. I never have left-over pasta, so I cook-up however much I’ll be using in a separate pot (to avoid excess starch in our dish.) I use lean ground sirloin (sometimes ground turkey) and I also add a small diced bell pepper. I add a can of diced tomatoes (w/juice) and some (thawed) mixed vegetables – so it’s more of a ‘complete meal’, …since I like to get as many veggies into my kiddies as possible.

I didn’t see in the directions to drain the fat from the meat after done browning… Do you not do this? Doesn’t it make the final product very greasy?

You can but you have to add water. If I’m cooking 1 cup raw pasta, I add about 1 1/2 cups water. Do this after you brown the meat and before you add the cheese. One good recommendation I can make is trying the special pastas especially made for one-pot cooking. Barilla was the first to come out with this–I forget what they call it–but it does work wonderfully.

I don’t see any directions for cooking the pasta directly in the one pot. I don’t usually have left overs so I’d like to cook it all together.
