Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1 medium, finely chopped yellow onion
- 1 medium, finely chopped green bell pepper
- 2 cloves minced garlic
- 14 ounces diced tomatoes (canned)
- 8 ounces tomato sauce
- 12 ounces egg noodles
- 2 cups sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon paprika
- 0.25 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
- 2 tablespoons, chopped parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
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.
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the chopped onions and bell peppers, and sauté for 3-4 minutes until softened.
Add the minced garlic to the skillet and cook for an additional 30 seconds until fragrant.
Push the vegetables to one side of the skillet and add the ground beef. Cook the beef, breaking it up with a spoon, until it is browned and fully cooked, about 5-7 minutes. Drain excess grease if needed.
Stir the vegetables and ground beef together. Season with salt, black pepper, paprika, and red pepper flakes if using.
Add the diced tomatoes and tomato sauce into the skillet. Stir well and let the mixture simmer on low heat for 8-10 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
In a large mixing bowl or the pot used to cook the noodles, combine the cooked noodles with the meat and vegetable mixture. Stir until evenly coated.
Transfer the mixture into a greased 9x13-inch baking dish. Top with the shredded cheddar cheese, spreading it evenly.
Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbling.
Remove the Tallerene from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes before serving. Garnish with chopped parsley if desired.
