I have made this many times. It is good with Italian sausage too. I like to fry the ground beef with some Italian seasoning to season the meat. Italian blend shredded cheese works well.

I don't understand why you put half the tomato sauce with the meat, than the pasta followed by the tomato sauce and water mixture and you stir everything!

Should it be that the water tomato sauce is mixed separately and then put on top of past sheets? Or do you cook the pasta with the meat and tomato sauce first?

I'm confused.
