Ingredients
Scale
Gathering your ingredients is a breeze, and most of these are pantry staples:
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1 medium onion, chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 can (15 ounces) diced tomatoes, undrained
- 1 can (10 ounces) condensed cream of mushroom soup
- 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
- 2 cups cooked macaroni
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
If you’re out of macaroni, any short pasta will do. And for a bit of spice, add a sprinkle of red pepper flakes.
Instructions
Let’s get cooking! Here’s how to bring this dish to life:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- In a large skillet, cook the ground beef over medium heat until browned, about 5-7 minutes. Drain any excess fat.
- Add the chopped onion and minced garlic to the beef. Cook until the onion is translucent, about 3 minutes.
- Stir in the diced tomatoes, cream of mushroom soup, Worcestershire sauce, salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning. Let it simmer for 5 minutes.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked macaroni with the beef mixture. Stir in 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese.
- Transfer the mixture into a greased 9×13-inch baking dish. Sprinkle the remaining cheddar cheese on top.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until the cheese is bubbly and golden.
- Let it cool slightly before serving. Enjoy the cheesy, savory goodness!
Remember, this dish doesn’t have to be perfect. My kitchen is often a mess of flour and laughter, and that’s where the magic happens.
