Ingredients

  • 1 small yellow onion, diced
  • 1 tbsp minced garlic
  • 1 lb lean ground beef
  • 14./5 oz can diced tomatoes
  • 15 oz can tomato sauce
  • 1 tsp oregano
  • ½ tsp pepper
  • ¼ tsp salt
  • 8 oz wide egg noodles, cooked
  • 2 cups shredded cheddar jack cheese
  • Fresh parsley, to garnish

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F and lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.
  • Dice the onion and add it to a skillet along with the minced garlic. Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until softened, about 5 minutes.
  • While the onion and garlic are cooking, bring a pot of water to a boil and cook the egg noodles according to the package directions.
  • Add the ground beef to the skillet. Cook, breaking it up with a spoon, until browned and mostly cooked through with no pink remaining.
  • Stir in the diced tomatoes, tomato sauce, oregano, salt, and pepper. Let everything simmer for a few minutes so the flavors come together.
  • Drain the cooked noodles well, then add them directly to the skillet. Gently toss until the noodles are fully coated with the sauce and beef mixture.
  • Transfer the mixture to the prepared casserole dish. Sprinkle the cheese evenly over the top and bake uncovered for about 20 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
  • Remove from the oven, garnish with fresh parsley, and serve warm.
