  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 2 teaspoons minced garlic 
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder

  • 1 Tablespoon parsley dried
  • 1 Tablespoon Worcestershire sauce 
  • 2 Tablespoons tomato paste

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Spray a 9x13 inch casserole dish with nonstick spray and set it aside.
  2. Prepare pasta according to package directions. When it is done cooking to al dente, drain off pasta water.
  3. Meanwhile cook ground beef in a large skillet over medium high heat until no longer pink. Drain grease off of ground beef when it is done cooking.
  4. Turn heat down to medium and add onion, salt, pepper, minced garlic, Italian seasoning, garlic powder, chili powder and parsley. Stir and let cook until onions are soft and translucent, about 5-7 minutes.
  5. Add Worcestershire sauce, tomato pasta and diced tomatoes, mix until combined.
  6. In a large bowl mix together the cooked elbow macaroni, sour cream and milk. Add in the ground beef mixture and stir until combined.
  7. In the prepared pan pour half of the ground beef and pasta mixture into the bottom. Then sprinkle half of the mozzarella cheese and half of the cheddar cheese over the pasta and ground beef. Repeat layers.
  8. Cover the pan with foil and cook for 20 minutes in the preheated oven. After 20 minutes, remove the pan from the oven and take off aluminum foil. Then place back into the oven an additional 10 minutes or until the cheese is melted and starting to brown.
  9. Serve immediately.

Notes

  • FRIDGE: Place leftover casserole into an airtight container and store in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the microwave or oven until fully heated.
  • FREEZER: Leftovers of this casserole tend to freeze pretty well. Allow the casserole to cool completely. Then, transfer leftovers to an airtight container or wrap the casserole dish tightly in plastic wrap. Store in the freezer for up to 2 months. Allow to thaw before reheating.
