Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1 medium onion, chopped
- 2 cloves garlic cloves, minced
- 14.5 oz canned diced tomatoes
- 2 tablespoons tomato paste
- 2 cups frozen mixed vegetables
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 8 oz egg noodles
- 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and minced garlic. Sauté until the onion becomes translucent, about 5 minutes.
Add the ground beef to the skillet and cook until it is browned, breaking it apart with a wooden spoon, about 7 to 10 minutes.
Stir in the canned diced tomatoes, tomato paste, frozen mixed vegetables, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper. Reduce the heat and simmer for 10 minutes to let the flavors meld together.
Meanwhile, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the egg noodles and cook according to package instructions until al dente. Drain the noodles and set aside.
In a 9x13-inch baking dish, layer half of the cooked noodles evenly across the bottom.
Spoon half of the beef mixture over the noodles, spreading it out evenly.
Repeat the layers with the remaining noodles and beef mixture.
Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the top of the casserole.
Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes.
Remove the foil and bake for an additional 10 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and golden.
Let the casserole cool for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy your comforting ground beef casserole!
