SLOPPY JOE CASSEROLE 
1 (8 oz.) pkg. shell macaroni
1 envelope sloppy joe seasoning mix
1 lb. ground chuck
1 (6 oz.) can tomato paste
1 (8 oz.) can tomato sauce with cheese
2 (8 oz.) cartons cream cottage cheese
1/2 c. grated Cheddar cheese

If unable to find tomato sauce with cheese, just add a little grated cheese to the sauce.

Cook macaroni as package directs; drain. Meanwhile, prepare seasoning mix with ground chuck, tomato paste, tomato sauce and 1 1/4 cup water as package directs.

In a 2 1/2 quart casserole, layer half the macaroni, half the cottage cheese and half the meat sauce; repeat. Top with Cheddar cheese. Bake uncovered 40-50 minutes or until bubbling.
