Recipe Summary Ground Beef Casserole

Classic comfort food that I have been making for years but can't remember where the recipe originally came from. Wanted to post it so I wouldn't lose it!

Ingredients | Ground Beef Casserole Dinner Ideas

1 ½ pounds ground beef

salt and ground black pepper to taste

½ cup chopped yellow onion

¼ cup chopped green bell pepper

¼ cup chopped carrot

2 cloves garlic, chopped

1 (15 ounce) can diced tomatoes

1 (8 ounce) can tomato sauce

1 (8 ounce) can sliced mushrooms, drained

1 tablespoon brown sugar

2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce

1 (8 ounce) package bow-tie pasta (farfalle)

1 (10.75 ounce) can cream of mushroom soup

¼ pound shredded Cheddar cheese

Directions

Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook and stir beef, salt, and black pepper in the hot skillet until browned and crumbly, 5 to 7 minutes; drain and discard grease. Add onion, green bell pepper, carrot, and garlic to ground beef; cook and stir until onion is lightly browned, about 15 minutes.

Mix tomatoes, tomato sauce, mushrooms, brown sugar, and Worcestershire sauce into ground beef-vegetable mixture; season with salt and black pepper. Cook on low until liquid is reduced and flavors have blended, about 45 minutes.

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook the bow-tie pasta at a boil, stirring occasionally, until cooked through yet firm to the bite, about 12 minutes; drain and transfer pasta to a 9x13-inch casserole dish.

Spoon cream of mushroom soup over bow-tie pasta; top with ground beef-tomato mixture. Sprinkle Cheddar cheese on top.

Bake in the preheated oven until casserole is bubbling and Cheddar cheese is melted, about 45 minutes.
