Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1 unit medium onion, chopped
- 1 unit green bell pepper, diced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 14.5 ounces canned diced tomatoes
- 8 ounces tomato sauce
- 8 ounces cooked macaroni pasta
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Add the chopped onion and bell pepper to the skillet and sauté until softened, about 5-7 minutes.
Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute until fragrant.
Add the ground beef to the skillet and cook until browned and fully cooked, breaking it into small pieces as it cooks. Drain excess fat if necessary.
Stir in the canned diced tomatoes, tomato sauce, Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper. Let the mixture simmer for 5-7 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
Meanwhile, cook the macaroni pasta according to the package instructions. Drain and set aside.
Combine the cooked pasta with the meat and tomato mixture, stirring well to coat the pasta evenly.
Transfer the mixture to a greased 9x13-inch baking dish.
Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the top.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Let the casserole rest for 5 minutes before serving.
