Ingredients
- 12 ounces macaroni uncooked
- 2 teaspoons olive oil
- 1 onion finely chopped

- 1 tablespoon minced garlic
- 1 1/4 lbs lean ground beef I use 90% lean
- salt and pepper to taste
- 3 8-ounce cans tomato sauce
- 15 ounce can diced tomatoes do not drain, I prefer to use the small diced (petite cut) variety
- 2 teaspoons Italian seasoning
- 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
- 2 tablespoons chopped parsley
- cooking spray
Instructions
- Bring a pot of salted water to a boil; add the macaroni and cook according to package directions. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
- While the noodles are cooking, heat the olive oil in a large pan over medium high heat.
- Place the onions and mushrooms in the pan and season with salt and pepper. Cook for 4-5 minutes, or until onions are softened and mushrooms have browned. Add the garlic and cook for 30 seconds.
- Remove the vegetables from the pan and wipe it clean with paper towel.
- Add the ground beef to the pan and cook for 4-5 minutes, breaking up the meat with a spatula. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Add the tomato sauce, tomatoes and Italian seasoning to the beef and stir to combine. Add the mushroom mixture back to the pan and stir.
- Drain the noodles and add to the pan with the beef; toss to combine.
- Pour the beef and noodle mixture into a 9"x13" baking pan that's been coated in cooking spray. Top with cheddar cheese.
