This recipe is one I think my mother made up a few years ago, and has
quickly become a family favorite.  Brown ground beef and set aside.
Boil elbow macaroni for 5 minutes  (even though package probably says
to cook longer). Shred cheese. In  a 2 quart casserole dish, pour
enough sauce in the bottom to just  cover. Top with a layer of
macaroni, then a layer of beef, then a  layer of cheese (an easy way to
tell how much a "layer" should  consist of is to visually cut the
portion into thirds since there  will be three layers of everything).
After you complete the first  layer of everything, pour some sauce.
When I get to this point, if I  have about 1/4 cup of sauce left in the
first can, I know I have  poured the right amount. Anyway, repeat
layers two more times, ending  with the last of the sauce being poured
all over the top. You can  cook it using micro alone, micro and oven to
brown, or just oven.  Micro method: cover loosely with plastic wrap and
cook on high for  approx. 13 minutes. Micro + oven (I prefer this):
follow micro  directions, but cook for 11-12 minutes, then brown under
the broiler  for a few minutes. Oven only: Cover with aluminum foil and
cook at  350 for 45 minutes, then uncover and cook for 15 minutes. In
all  cases, let stand for a few minutes to cool a little and "set".
(Side note: original recipe had no beef in it - that was a preference
I added when I started making it for myself. If you prefer no meat,
recipe still stays the same in all other aspects.)  Posted to
