How to Make Simple Hamburger Hot Dish

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Cook 1 pound of pasta according to package directions. Drain and set aside.

  4. Drain off any excess grease from the skillet.
  5. Stir in one (14.5 ounce) can diced tomatoes (undrained), one (15 ounce) can tomato sauce, 1 tablespoon sugar, and the cooked pasta.
  6. Pour the mixture into an ungreased 8x8 inch square baking dish.
  7. Cover the dish with aluminum foil.
  8. Bake for 30-40 minutes, or until bubbly around the edges.
  9. Sprinkle with 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese (or your favorite cheese).
  10. Bake uncovered for 5-10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
