Ingredients

How to make it

  • Pre-heat your oven to 400 degrees.
  • Cook pasta for one minute less than package directions.
  • In a large non-stick skillet, cook 1 pound of lean ground beef. Break it into small pieces as it's cooking. When it's done, remove any excess fat from the pan. Set aside the meat for now.
  • To the pan, add 3 tablespoons olive oil over medium heat. Sauté the onions until they're almost done, then add in garlic and cook for a couple of minutes more.
  • Stir in chili powder, cumin, and black pepper. Slowly stir in crushed tomatoes, diced tomatoes and brown sugar. Add the meat back in. Simmer the sauce for about 10 minutes.
  • Combine the sauce and meat mixture with the cooked pasta. Stir in 1/2 cup of co-jack cheese.
  • Pour the mixture into a 9 x 13 inch casserole dish.
  • Top with remaining two cups of cheese. Cover with foil and bake for about 35 minutes. Remove the foil and cook for 10 minutes longer, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
  • Top with green onion for garnish, and Fritos if you'd like.
