1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
1 can (10.75 oz) condensed tomato soup
1 cup milk
½ teaspoon garlic powder
½ teaspoon onion powder
Salt and pepper to taste
8 oz medium pasta shells, cooked and drained
Directions:
Preheat Oven:
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish lightly with oil or butter.
Prepare the Meatloaf Layer:
In a mixing bowl, combine ground beef, breadcrumbs, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper.
Mix well until evenly incorporated.
Press the meatloaf mixture evenly into the bottom of the prepared baking dish.
Prepare the Cheddar Shells Layer:
In a separate bowl, stir together cooked pasta shells, shredded cheddar cheese, condensed tomato soup, and milk.
Mix until everything is creamy and well coated.
