Ground beef penne pasta bake is an easy meal to make for the entire family. It’ll fill everyone up and you’ll have plenty leftover.
We had some for lunch the next day, too!
The recipe doesn’t require a lot of ingredients, and you can make the meat ahead of time and set it in the fridge to use when you’re ready. It’s always nice to have food prepared for those days when you’ve driven kids all over and don’t want to spend too much time in the kitchen.
It’s easy, fast, quick, delicious, filling, plentiful, happy, cheesy, and did I say delicious already?
Recipe and directions listed at the bottom of the post.
Brown your meat and set aside.
While you’re browning the meat, boil your penne pasta. Once you’ve cooked the pasta (about 11 minutes) drain and pour into a large bowl.
Add the meat to the bowl of penne pasta.
Add the spaghetti sauce and Alfredo sauce to the bowl and mix everything together.
Grab the recipe HERE for Easy Homemade Alfredo Sauce with Cream Cheese.
Pour everything into a 13″ x 9″ casserole dish and top with shredded cheese. It calls for 2 cups, but you can always put more or less cheese. I tend to lean on the more side–I LOVE cheese!
Don’t you just want to lick the screen? It’s making me hungry writing this. Ok, focus. Moving on…
Cook on 350-degrees for about 20-25 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and the sauce is bubbly, and the kitchen smells really good.
This meal is less than $20
