Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1 medium, diced onion
- 1 medium, diced bell pepper
- 2 minced garlic cloves
- 8 ounces gluten-free pasta
- 15 ounces canned tomatoes
- 2 tablespoons gluten-free Worcestershire sauce
- 1 teaspoon dried Italian seasoning
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 0.5 cup gluten-free bread crumbs
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and bell pepper, cooking until softened, about 5 minutes.
Add the minced garlic to the skillet and cook for an additional minute until fragrant.
Increase the heat to medium-high, add the ground beef to the skillet, breaking it apart with a spatula, and cook until browned, about 7-10 minutes. Drain excess fat if necessary.
Stir in the canned tomatoes, gluten-free Worcestershire sauce, Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper. Simmer for 5 minutes to meld flavors.
Meanwhile, cook the gluten-free pasta according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
Combine the cooked pasta with the beef mixture, stirring gently to mix well. Adjust seasoning if necessary.
Transfer the mixture into a greased 9x13 inch casserole dish.
Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the top.
Sprinkle the gluten-free bread crumbs over the cheese layer.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes until the cheese is melted and the top is golden brown.
Remove from oven and let it cool for a few minutes before serving.
