Instructions
 

  • Cook the mostaccioli pasta as directed on the package for al dente. After cooking, rinse it with water and let it drain.
  • Heat a large iron skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the ground beef in the skillet, stirring until it is completely browned. Once browned, drain off any excess fat.
  • To the skillet with the beef, add the spaghetti sauce, cheddar cheese soup, ground black pepper, and dried Italian herb seasoning. Stir everything together until it is well mixed.
  • In a large pasta pot, combine the cooked pasta, the sauce mixture from the skillet, and 2 cups of shredded mozzarella cheese.
  • Place the mixed ingredients back into the iron skillet.
  • Sprinkle the remaining 1 cup of mozzarella cheese evenly over the top of the pasta mixture.
  • Bake the pasta in an oven preheated to 350°F for 40 minutes, or until everything is hot throughout.
