1 medium onion, chopped

1 lb. ground beef

1 T. olive oil

1 or 2 cloves garlic (minced)

1 jar pasta sauce

2+ C. shredded cheddar cheese

Boil penne for about 12 min. in salted water

While penne boils add oil, beef, salt and pepper to frying pan. Once it gets going, stir in garlic.

Drain penne and add pasta sauce, 1 C. cheese, and beef mixture.  Mix and pour into baking dish. Cover the top with the rest of the cheese and bake for 10 minutes, uncovered. Turn oven to broil and broil for a minute or two extra to slightly brown the cheese.  - Tricia
