Ingredients
  • 6 ounce Penne or other tube pasta
  • 3/4 pound Ground beef
  • 1 can Stewed tomatoes (approx. 14-15 oz)
  • 1 cup Stewed tomatoes
  • 1 bunch Green onions, sliced
  • 3 ounce Cream cheese, softened
  • 1/2 cup Shredded Swiss cheese
  • 1/2 cup Shredded Parmesan cheese
  • 1/2 cup Shredded Sharp Cheddar cheese
  • Salt and pepper to taste
Directions
  1. 1
    Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the penne pasta according to package directions until al dente. Drain well and set aside.
  2. 2
    While the pasta cooks, heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the ground beef and cook, breaking it up with a spoon, until browned and no longer pink. Drain any excess grease if necessary.
  3. 3
    Season the beef with salt and pepper to taste. Add the stewed tomatoes to the skillet and stir to combine.
  4. 4
    Reduce heat to medium-low and let the mixture simmer uncovered for about 5 minutes, or until the sauce has slightly thickened.
  5. 5
    Stir in the softened cream cheese and sliced green onions. Mix until the cream cheese is fully melted and the sauce is smooth.
  6. 6
    Add the drained pasta to the skillet with the beef and cheese sauce. Toss gently to coat the pasta evenly.
  7. 7
    Sprinkle the shredded Swiss, Parmesan, and Cheddar cheeses over the top.
  8. 8
    Cover the skillet and let it sit on low heat for 2 minutes, or until the cheeses are completely melted. Serve immediately.
