 | | Directions |
- Grease the baking dish on the bottom and sides; set aside.
- Brown the ground beef and onion in a large skillet; drain grease. Sprinkle with salt and pepper.
- Add the tomato juice, tomato soup, butter, and sugar. Stir together and bring to a boil. Turn down the heat and allow to simmer for about 10 to 15 minutes or until it thickens slightly.
- While sauce is simmering cook the rigatoni until al dente (still having a slight bite to it). Drain but do not rinse.
- Add half of the rigatoni to the bottom of the greased baking dish. Pour half the sauce over the rigatoni. Then sprinkle 1 cup of Cheddar cheese and 1 cup of Mozzarella cheese over the sauce. Repeat these layers.
- Sprinkle the Parmesan over the top and place in an oven preheated to 350° F. Bake for 45 minutes or until bubbling.
- Remove from the oven and allow to set for 5 or 10 minutes before serving.
