Sloppy Joe Pasta Bake

• 1 box of rotini noodles (I use the Barilla plus brand in the yellow box, its made out of bean flour and have lower carbs)


• 1lb ground beef or turkey


• 2-3 cans Del Monte sloppy joe sauce (store brand tastes funny to me) use 3 cans if you like pasta more saucey


• 2 or more cups of shredded chedder cheese

Cook pasta according to package directions and drain. Brown meat. Add sauce. Combine pasta and meat sauce in a baking dish. Top with desired amount of shredded cheese. Bake at 375F until cheese is melted about 15-20min. Can't get any easier than that! My kids love this!
