Ingredients
  

  • 1 lb. Ground beef 85% lean
  • 1/2 cup onions diced
  • 1 15.5 oz can Manwich Sauce
  • 2 1/2 cups chicken broth
  • 1 14.5 oz. can diced tomatoes *not* drained
  • Uncooked 3/4 pound Farfalle Pasta
  • 8 oz. Velveeta cheese cubed
  • 1 cup frozen corn or drained from can
  • 1 1/2 cups cheddar shredded

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 375°F
  • For 2 minutes, cook and crumble ground beef in large skillet with thick walls. Cook the onions for 5 minutes more, or until brown. Drain the grease.
  • You can add liquids such as Manwich sauce, chicken broth and undrained diced tomato.
  • Bring to a gentle boil. Add the pasta to the saucepan and stir.
  • Let it boil for about 5 minutes. To ensure that the pasta doesn't stick, stir it a few more times. We are simmering the pasta gently so we recommend boiling it for a little longer than indicated on the package. Before you proceed, taste-test the noodles.
  • Reduce heat to low. Add the corn. To melt the Velveeta, add the cubed Velveeta. Cover the pot with a lid. Gently stir the mixture.
  • Transfer the mixture to a 9 x 13 inch casserole dish.
  • Add shredded cheddar to the top.
  • Bake for 15 minutes covered. Cover and bake for 15 minutes. Serve with cornbread
