ingredients
2 cups pasta (shells or elbows)
1 pound ground beef
1/2 teaspoon garlic salt, oregano and basil (each)
1 can (15.5 ounce size) butter beans (may use black or pinto beans also), drained
1 can (28 ounce size) crushed tomatoes
1 cup shredded monterey jack cheese
directions
Bring 4 cups water to a boil and add pasta; cook for about 10 minutes or according to package directions.
Meanwhile, prepare the sauce: In a large skillet over medium heat, brown ground beef. Sprinkle with the garlic salt, oregano and basil as it's browning.
When beef is done, add drained beans and tomatoes. Simmer for 5-10 minutes until heated through.
By this time the pasta should be tender; drain and add the pasta to the tomato/beef mixture. Stir gently, top with cheese and cover with a lid. When cheese is melted and bubbly, turn off heat and serve.
