Ingredients

1 lb lean ground beef

1 yellow onion, diced

2 cans Manwich sauce

12 oz farfalle (bowtie) pasta, cooked al dente

1 cup shredded Velveeta cheese

1½ cups shredded Colby-Jack cheese

Instructions

Preheat & Prepare:
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish and set aside.

Cook Meat & Onions:
In a large pot or skillet over medium-high heat, cook the ground beef and diced onion until beef is browned and onions are soft. Drain excess grease.

Add Sauce & Cheese:
Return the beef mixture to the pot. Stir in both cans of Manwich, the cooked pasta, and shredded Velveeta. Stir over low heat until Velveeta is melted and everything is well combined.

Assemble & Bake:
Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish. Top with shredded Colby-Jack cheese.

Bake:
Bake uncovered for 25 minutes, or until cheese is fully melted and bubbling.

Cool & Serve:
Let rest 5–10 minutes before serving to allow casserole to set.

Notes

Use freshly shredded cheese for optimal melting and flavor.

Add-ins like chopped jalapeños, bell peppers, or mushrooms make great variations.

Substitute ground turkey or chicken for a lighter option.

Penne, rotini, or elbow pasta also work well if you don’t have farfalle.
