Crafty Bergy's One Pan Beef Pasta

This was a Kraft recipe but in their recipe they boiled the beef & Pasta together with the soup and I didn't like the sound of that so I have changed it around completely and added some ingredients. You may either serve it right from the pan or make ahead and bake it like a casserole. I love do aheaders! This takes apprx 10 minutes to prepare and 20 minutes to cook if you serve it right from the pan - the times on the recipe reflect the time if you are serving it as a casserole. Serve with a green salad. Freezes well. I like to decorate it with few strips of colored peppers but that's optional
