5. Cook noodles just short of al dente; drain and rinse.
6. Set aside.
7. Combine all ingredients for cheese mix.
8. Place half of the cooked noodles in a 9x13 pan.
9. Spread with half of the cheese mix.
10. (I've found that using your bare hands for spreading the cheese mix works very well.)

12. Then pour on half of the meat sauce.
13. Repeat layers.
14. Bake at 375F for 30 minutes or until heated through.
