Ingredients

• 1 pound Ground beef
• 1 Yellow onion, diced
• 2 Garlic cloves, minced
• 15 oz Tomato sauce
• 14.5 oz Diced tomatoes, undrained
• 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 2 cups Uncooked elbow macaroni
• 2 cups Cheddar cheese, shredded
• 1 cup Monterey Jack cheese, shredded
• 1 cup Sour cream
• 2 tablespoons Butter, melted
• 0.5 cup Panko breadcrumbs
• 0.25 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9x13-inch casserole dish lightly with cooking spray or oil.

Step 2

In a large skillet over medium-high heat, cook the ground beef until browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes. Drain excess grease.

Step 3

Add the diced onion and minced garlic to the skillet with the beef and cook for 2-3 minutes, until fragrant and softened.

Step 4

Stir in tomato sauce, diced tomatoes, Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper. Reduce the heat to low and simmer for 5 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together.

Step 5

While the beef mixture simmers, cook the elbow macaroni according to the package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.

Step 6

In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked macaroni, beef mixture, shredded cheddar cheese, Monterey Jack cheese, and sour cream. Mix until evenly combined.

Step 7

Pour the mixture into the prepared casserole dish and smooth the top with a spatula.

Step 8

In a small bowl, mix the melted butter, panko breadcrumbs, and grated Parmesan cheese until well combined. Sprinkle this mixture evenly over the top of the casserole.

Step 9

Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the casserole is bubbling around the edges.

Step 10

Remove from the oven and let the casserole rest for 5 minutes before serving. Garnish with fresh parsley, if desired.
