Answer 2

Gently stir fry peppers and onions with garlic 'til they are softened. Add the mince and cook until there are no more pink juices. Meanwhile cook some pasta shapes til they are al dente. Mix a tin of Campbells condensed tomato soup through the meat mixture - don't mix any water into the soup. Layer the pasta and meat mixture in a casserole dish and top with grated cheese. Cook through in a medium hot oven for about 40 minutes. Delish!

pasta bake:
brown the mince and fry an onion and some mushrooms with it and then mix in some dolmio pasta bake sauce, there are loads of flavours to choose from.
in a separate pan boil some pasta, when it is cooked drain it and stir it into the mince.
transfer to an oven proof dish and top with cheese, pop it under a grill until the cheese is browned...
