Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1 yellow onion, diced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 24 ounces marinara sauce
- 1 teaspoon dried Italian seasoning
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 12 ounces egg noodles
- 2 cups shredded sharp cheddar cheese
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with olive oil or cooking spray.
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and cook for 3-4 minutes, or until softened.
Add the minced garlic to the skillet and cook for another 30 seconds until fragrant.
Add the ground beef to the skillet and cook until browned, breaking it up into crumbles with a spatula. Drain any excess grease.
Stir in the marinara sauce, Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper. Simmer for 5-7 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together.
While the meat sauce simmers, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook the egg noodles according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
Layer half of the cooked egg noodles on the bottom of the prepared baking dish. Top the noodles with half of the meat sauce, spreading it evenly.
Sprinkle 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese and 1/2 cup of shredded mozzarella cheese over the meat sauce.
Repeat the layering with the remaining noodles, meat sauce, and cheeses, finishing with an even layer of the remaining shredded cheeses on top.
Cover the baking dish with 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 melted and bubbly.
Remove the casserole from the oven and let it rest for 5-10 minutes before serving.
Garnish with fresh parsley if desired and serve warm. Enjoy!
