- 2 pkts. Sloppy Joe mix
- 12-16 oz. box medium shell pasta cooked and drained
- 29 oz. jar Prego spaghetti sauce or your favorite kind

In a large saucepan, bring water to a boil.

While pasta is cooking, in a large saucepan, cook beef over medium heat until no longer pink; drain.
Stir in the Sloppy Joe mix, water (I use about a half cup to rinse out the spaghetti sauce jar), and spaghetti sauce.
Bring to a boil.
Reduce heat, simmer, uncovered, for 5-10 minutes.
Remove from heat; stir in drained pasta.
Spoon half of the beef mixture into a greased 3-qt. casserole dish.
Top with cottage cheese (or ricotta cheese) and remaining beef mixture.
