Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1 medium yellow onion, diced
- 2 cloves garlic cloves, minced
- 14.5 ounces canned diced tomatoes
- 2 tablespoons tomato paste
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 2 cups cooked elbow macaroni
- 1 cup frozen green peas
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat.
Add the diced onion and garlic to the skillet and sauté until softened, about 3-4 minutes.
Add the ground beef to the skillet and cook until browned, breaking it up into small crumbles as it cooks. Drain excess fat if necessary.
Stir in the diced tomatoes (with their juice), tomato paste, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and black pepper. Let the mixture simmer for 5 minutes to combine flavors.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked macaroni, beef mixture, and frozen peas. Stir until everything is evenly distributed.
Grease a 9x13-inch casserole dish with a light coating of olive oil or non-stick spray.
Pour the mixture into the prepared casserole dish and spread it out evenly.
Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the top.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Remove from the oven and let rest for 5 minutes before serving.
Serve warm and enjoy your Clipper Ship Casserole!
