Ingredients:
1 lb mafalda pasta ( or similar shape pasta)
1 lb Steak-ums, frozen chipped steak ( or similar brand)
1 small onions, chopped
1 small green peppers, coarsely chopped
2 cups sliced mushrooms
1 teaspoon pepper
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon oregano
4 -5 cups marinara sauce (bottled or homemade) or 4 -5 cups tomato sauce ( bottled or homemade)
2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
6 slices American cheese
Directions:
Boil mafalda pasta according to package directions.
While pasta is cooking, Preheat oven to 350. Then, break up Steak-Ums into small pieces with hands and place them in a large skillet with onion, pepper and mushroom. Cook over med-high heat, stirring often and chopping meat a bit more, until meat is browned and peppers are tender. Drain.
In a large bowl, combine the browned meat/veggie mixture with cooked and drained pasta. Add salt, pepper, and oregano. Stir.
Add 4 cups sauce and the cheddar cheese and stir well. Pour into at least a 13″ x 9″ baking dish.
Cut 6 slices of American cheese in half so you have 12 half slices. Arrange 12 half slices of cheese evenly on top.
Bake at 350 for 25-30 minutes.
