Cheeseburger Pasta

This was a good find! It takes 30 minutes to make, it's fairly good for you, and with the ketchup, mustard, tomatoes, etc, it really does taste like a cheeseburger. Dave liked it, and he's pretty young at heart, so I'm going to venture a guess that this will be a popular dish with the kids.
------------------------------------
2 cups whole wheat penne pasta
1 lb lean ground beef
2 Tbsp chopped onion
1 can diced tomatoes
2 Tbsp dill pickle relish (I just chopped up some pickles)
2 Tbsp mustard
2 Tbsp ketchup
1 Tsp steak seasoning (I used A-1 sauce, about 2 Tbsp of it)
3/4 C shredded cheddar cheese
------------------------------------
Cook pasta according to package directions. Meanwhile, in a large skillet, cook beef and onion over medium heat until meat is no longer pink; drain. Drain pasta; add to meat mixture.

Stir in the tomatoes, relish, mustard, ketchup, and steak seasoning. Bring to boil. Reduce heat; simmer, uncovered, for 5 minutes.

Sprinkle with cheese. Remove from heat and let stand until cheese is melted.
