I can’t remember who posted this recipe, but I made it and it was delicious! Look how gooey the cheese is! 
Hamburger, shell pasta, tomato soup, cheddar cheese and mozzarella cheese and pick your own seasonings. I’m gonna try Italian blend cheese and sharp cheddar next time.
Edit …forgot to post recipe.
1lb hamburger I used 2 we like meat.
2 regular cans tomato soup I used 3 due to extra meat
1lb pasta medium shells
2 cups cheddar cheese
1 cup mozzarella
Half can of water (soup can)
Seasoning to your liking. I used WOW seasoning and garlic salt.
Cheesy Hamburger Pasta Bake
Ingredients:
- 1 lb ground hamburger (or 2 if you prefer more meat)
- 2-3 regular cans of tomato soup (adjust to taste and thickness preference)
- 1 lb medium shell pasta
- 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1/2 can of water (use the soup can for measuring)
- Seasonings of your choice (e.g., WOW seasoning, garlic salt, or your preferred blend)
- Optional: Italian blend cheese and sharp cheddar for topping
Instructions:
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
- Cook the Pasta: Cook the medium shell pasta according to the package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
- Prepare the Hamburger: In a large skillet, brown the ground hamburger over medium-high heat until it’s fully cooked and no longer pink. Drain any excess fat.
- Combine Hamburger and Soup: Add the tomato soup to the cooked hamburger in the skillet. If you prefer a thicker sauce, use 2 cans; for a saucier dish, use 3 cans. Mix well, allowing the flavors to meld. Add water to the mixture, stirring to combine and create a smooth sauce. Season with your desired seasonings, such as WOW seasoning and garlic salt. Adjust the seasoning to taste.
- Add Pasta and Cheese: Add the cooked pasta to the skillet with the hamburger and soup mixture. Mix everything together thoroughly, ensuring the pasta is well coated with the sauce. Add 2 cups of shredded cheddar cheese and 1 cup of shredded mozzarella cheese. Stir until the cheese is melted and the pasta is evenly coated with the cheesy sauce.
- Bake: Transfer the cheesy hamburger pasta mixture into the prepared baking dish. If desired, sprinkle the top with a combination of Italian blend cheese and sharp cheddar for an extra cheesy crust.
- Bake in the preheated oven: Bake for 20-25 minutes or until the pasta is bubbly and the cheese on top is gooey and golden brown.
- Serve: Remove the pasta bake from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before serving. Garnish with fresh herbs like parsley, if desired.
- Enjoy: Dig in and enjoy the gooey, cheesy goodness of your homemade hamburger pasta bake! Remember, you can always customize the recipe by trying different cheese blends and seasonings to suit your taste preferences
