"This is from one of those small recipe magazines you see next to the checkout at the grocery store from the early 2000s. It is super easy, filling, and tasty - which is great, because at the time I found this recipe, it was early in my marriage, and I was still learning how to cook. It's still one of my hubby's favorites to this day."

Step by Step Method

Step 1

Start off by browning the ground beef in a large pan over medium-high heat, or medium heat if you are using cast iron. Stir frequently until the beef is cooked thoroughly. Drain off the grease.

Step 2

Stir in the water, barbecue sauce, baked beans, and tomato sauce. Bring this mixture up to a boil.

Step 3

Add in your pasta, stirring and making sure the pasta is mostly submerged in the liquid so that it will cook. Reduce the heat to a simmer. Cover the pan, and simmer for 12 to 14 minutes, or until the pasta is tender. Stir occasionally.

Step 4

Once the pasta is cooked, turn off the heat, and sprinkle on the shredded cheese. Let the cheese melt, and serve.

Notes: I use a 10" cast iron skillet, and this pretty much fills my pan. I wouldn't use anything smaller. Use your favorite flavor of barbecue sauce and baked beans. We use Bush's Honey Baked Beans when we make this at our house.

Delicious (and a wonderful way to hide beans in a dish). I used a different type of macaroni but otherwise made as directed. This makes a lot which is great for my family! Thanks for sharing!
