Ingredients
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1 onion chopped
- 1 teaspoon garlic salt
- ¼ cup tomato paste
- 1 cup tomato sauce
- 2 cups beef broth
- 1 pound cavatappi noodles uncooked
- ½ cup sour cream
- 3 cups cheddar cheese divided, shredded
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F.
- Cook the ground beef and onion in a large pan or skillet over medium high heat for 5-7 minutes, until the beef is no longer pink in the middle and the onions are soft. Drain grease, if needed.
- Once the ground beef is fully cooked, stir in the beef broth, tomato paste, and tomato sauce. Bring the broth mixture to a boil and then add your pasta noodles. Reduce the heat to a low simmer and cover the pan with a lid. Allow the pasta to cook for 10 minutes, or until soft.
- Fold in the sour cream and half of the cheddar cheese until the cheese is fully melted and evenly distributed among the beef and noodles.
- Transfer the casserole to an 8x8-inch baking dish and top with the remaining cheese.
- Bake for 20 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly.
- Serve and enjoy!

Notes
- There is no need to cover your casserole with tin foil while baking it.
- Other noodles you can use include elbow, penne, and bowtie. Any kind of noodle will work great in this recipe, but shorter noodles will work best.
- The sour cream helps add some smoothness to the casserole. If you don’t have sour cream then you can use plain Greek yogurt.
- Freshly shredded cheese will melt down much better than bagged cheese, but feel free to use whatever you have on hand.
