Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1 medium yellow onion, diced
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 15 ounces tomato sauce
- 14.5 ounces diced tomatoes
- 3 cups cooked pasta (e.g., penne or elbow noodles)
- 1 cup sour cream
- 4 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon dried Italian seasoning
- 1 tablespoon butter, for greasing
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 9x13-inch casserole dish with butter.
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the diced onion and sauté for 3-4 minutes until softened. Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes.
Add the ground beef to the skillet and cook, breaking it up with a wooden spoon, until fully browned and cooked through. Drain any excess fat from the skillet.
Stir in the tomato sauce, diced tomatoes, salt, black pepper, and Italian seasoning. Reduce the heat to low and let the mixture simmer for about 5-7 minutes to blend the flavors.
While the meat sauce is simmering, combine the sour cream and softened cream cheese in a mixing bowl. Stir until smooth and creamy.
In the prepared casserole dish, add the cooked pasta in an even layer. Spread the sour cream and cream cheese mixture evenly over the pasta.
Pour the meat sauce over the sour cream layer, spreading it out evenly. Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese over the top of the casserole.
Bake the casserole in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Remove the casserole from the oven and let it rest for 5-10 minutes before serving. Enjoy!
