Sloppy Joe Noodles

This is like Sloppy Joes with noodles instead of bread.

Ingredients:
1/2 box (about 6.5 oz) rotini pasta (or any shape will work)
1 lb ground beef
1/2 cup onions, chopped
1/2 cup green pepper, chopped (optional-I don't use this)
1/2 tsp garlic powder
1-1/2 cups ketchup
2 tsp prepared mustard
1 tbs brown sugar
Shredded cheese for garnish (optional)

Cook pasta as directed on the box. While it's cooking, cook the ground beef with the onion (and peppers) until beef is browned and cooked and onions and peppers are cooked. Drain well. Add garlic powder, ketchup, mustard and brown sugar and mix well. Bring to a boil and lower heat-allow to simmer until heated through. When pasta is done, drain it and add it to the meat mixture. Stir well. Garnish with shredded cheese if desired.
