1.Preheat the oven to 375 degrees.
2. Cook and Drain Pasta according to package directions.
3. Brown the meat in a large skillet with garlic, add salt and pepper if using. You can also toss in some diced onion, if desired.
4. Once the meat has been browned, drain off any fat. Mix in pasta, tomato soup, mushroom soup, ketchup, and BBQ sauce and half of the shredded cheese. Gently mix to combine. Cook 2-3 minutes to combine and you may see slightly bubbling.
