Goulash

1 pkg pasta (large elbow, shells, anything you'd like)
1 lb ground beef
2 cans tomato sauce
1 can tomato paste
1 lb chedder cheese (shredded)
1/2 bell pepper (optional)
1/2 small onion (optional)
Garlic, salt, pepper to taste

Boil pasta while browning beef, drain any fat. Add seasonings, peppers, onion, tomato sauce and paste to beef. Simmer 5 or 10 minutes. Drain pasta and add all of the cheese. Mix until stringy/gooey. (At this point, I take some of the mac and cheese out as the "side dish" and pepper it -- it's rather bland and is an acquired taste but I love it) Add the beef/tomato mixture to the cheesey pasta and mix well. Goes great with garlic bread! Cheap and VERY easy. Feeds 3 or 4 easily.
