Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound Ground beef
- 1 Yellow onion, diced
- 2 Garlic cloves, minced
- 15 oz Tomato sauce
- 14.5 oz Diced tomatoes, undrained
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 cups Uncooked elbow macaroni
- 2 cups Cheddar cheese, shredded
- 1 cup Monterey Jack cheese, shredded
- 1 cup Sour cream
- 2 tablespoons Butter, melted
- 0.5 cup Panko breadcrumbs
- 0.25 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9x13-inch casserole dish lightly with cooking spray or oil.
In a large skillet over medium-high heat, cook the ground beef until browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes. Drain excess grease.
Add the diced onion and minced garlic to the skillet with the beef and cook for 2-3 minutes, until fragrant and softened.
Stir in tomato sauce, diced tomatoes, Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper. Reduce the heat to low and simmer for 5 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together.
While the beef mixture simmers, cook the elbow macaroni according to the package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked macaroni, beef mixture, shredded cheddar cheese, Monterey Jack cheese, and sour cream. Mix until evenly combined.
Pour the mixture into the prepared casserole dish and smooth the top with a spatula.
In a small bowl, mix the melted butter, panko breadcrumbs, and grated Parmesan cheese until well combined. Sprinkle this mixture evenly over the top of the casserole.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the casserole is bubbling around the edges.
Remove from the oven and let the casserole rest for 5 minutes before serving. Garnish with fresh parsley, if desired.
