Beefaroni II (the kids' favorite of the two)

1 lb ground beef
2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
2 (15 oz) cans tomato sauce
2 Tbsp butter
1 (16 oz) package uncooked elbow macaroni
salt and pepper to taste

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.

Crumble the ground beef into a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook, stirring frequently, until evenly browned. Drain.

While the ground beef is cooking, bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Add macaroni and cook until tender, about 8 minutes. Drain and stir in butter. Transfer to a large casserole dish and mix in the beef, tomato sauce and cheese. Sprinkle with salt and pepper, to taste.

Bake, uncovered, for 30 minutes or until heated through and bubbly.
