Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). While it's heating up, boil your pasta according to package directions but slightly undercook it. Drain and set aside.
- In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and bell pepper. Sauté until they start to soften.
- Add the ground beef to the skillet. Break it apart and cook until no pink remains. Drain any excess fat if necessary.
- Stir in the tomato sauce, ketchup, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, and chili powder. Let the mixture simmer for about 5 minutes to meld the flavors together.
- Add the cooked pasta to the skillet and stir it into the beef mixture. Season with salt and black pepper to your liking.
- Transfer the beef and pasta mixture to a greased 9x13-inch casserole dish. Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the top.
- Pop the casserole into the preheated oven for about 20 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
- Remove from oven and let it sit for a few minutes before serving.

Notes
- If you find the tomato sauce too acidic, a teaspoon of sugar can be added to balance the flavors and reduce acidity.
- Pasta Choice: You can substitute the penne or bowtie with other short pasta like elbow macaroni or rotini. Just remember to slightly undercook, as it will continue cooking in the oven.
- Meat Variations: Ground turkey or chicken can be used as a leaner alternative to beef.
- Spice It Up: If you prefer a bit more kick, consider adding a pinch of red pepper flakes or a dash of hot sauce to the beef mixture.
- Balancing Acidity: If you find the tomato sauce too acidic, a teaspoon of sugar can be added to balance the flavors and reduce acidity.
- Storage: Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days. Perfect for reheating for a quick lunch or dinner!
