Cheesy Rotini

Hello everyone!

I've been doing something new lately that has really helped make my week less stressful.  I've been doing meal planning on the weekend for upcoming dinners.  I plan my meals and check my pantry for ingredients.  Whatever I need, I go to the store and grab them on the weekend and then I'm all set for the week.  I remember doing that when I use to work outside the home, but eventually got away from it.  I must say it feels good to get back to being more organized!  Anyway, here is one of the dinners that I made the other night and I thought I would share it with you.  It's not very difficult and I think it makes a good meal during the Fall. 

You will need these ingredients:

rotini pasta,  ground beef, green bell pepper, onion, can of whole tomatoes, beef bouillon,  

worcestershire sauce, pepper, milk, ricotta cheese, shredded cheddar cheese

Step 1:  brown ground beef with onion and bell pepper.

Step 2:  While that's cooking, cook pasta in boiling water.

Step 3:  drain excess grease from meat.

Step 4:  Add tomatoes, bouillon, worcestershire sauce and pepper. Simmer for 5 min.

Step 5:  Remove from heat and add milk, ricotta cheese, shredded cheddar cheese and cooked rotini pasta. 

Step 6:  Stir altogether.

Step 7:  Pour into casserole dish.  (I sprayed mine with cooking spray first.)

Step 8:  Sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese on top.

Bake in oven at 350 degrees for 30 min. covered.  It will look like this when done.

Serve with garlic bread and salad.

It is really good.  I hope you will give it a try!

Here is the recipe.

I hope you all have a great weekend!  It finally feels like Fall here.
