Goulash

(Recipe is for a large skillet with a lid.)

2 lbs. lean ground beef
½ small onion, chopped
1 clove garlic, minced
1 jar (24 oz.) Ragu Traditional pasta sauce
1 (14.5 oz) can petite diced tomatoes, undrained
1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
1 bay leaf
1 cup water
Salt & Pepper to taste
2 or 3 cups (your preference) small elbow macaroni noodles, uncooked
1 cup cheddar cheese

Cook ground beef, onion and garlic over medium high heat until no pink remains. Drain any fat.
Add pasta sauce, diced tomatoes, water, and seasonings. Simmer, covered, for 15 minutes.

Top with cheese and replace the lid. Let sit about 5 minutes or until melted.
