Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1 medium, diced yellow onion
- 1 medium, diced green bell pepper
- 2 minced garlic cloves
- 3 cups cooked pasta (elbow macaroni or penne)
- 1 cup Heinz 57 Sauce
- 1 14.5-ounce can diced tomatoes (with juice)
- 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 2 tablespoons, chopped parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9x13-inch casserole dish and set aside.
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Add the ground beef to the skillet and cook until browned, breaking it apart with a spoon, about 5-7 minutes. Drain any excess fat.
Add the diced onion, green bell pepper, and minced garlic to the skillet. Cook until the vegetables soften, about 5 minutes.
Season with salt and black pepper, stirring to combine.
Stir in the Heinz 57 Sauce and diced tomatoes (with their juice). Simmer for 3-5 minutes to blend the flavors.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked pasta with the meat and vegetable mixture. Mix thoroughly.
Transfer the mixture to the prepared casserole dish, spreading it out evenly.
Top with the shredded cheddar cheese, ensuring the casserole is thoroughly covered.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Remove from the oven and let the casserole rest for 5 minutes before serving.
Optional: Garnish with chopped parsley before serving.
