Ingredients

• 1 pound ground beef
• 1 medium yellow onion, diced
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• 15 ounces tomato sauce
• 14.5 ounces diced tomatoes
• 3 cups cooked pasta (e.g., penne or elbow noodles)
• 1 cup sour cream
• 4 ounces cream cheese, softened
• 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 teaspoon dried Italian seasoning
• 1 tablespoon butter, for greasing

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 9x13-inch casserole dish with butter.

Step 2

In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the diced onion and sauté for 3-4 minutes until softened. Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes.

Step 3

Add the ground beef to the skillet and cook, breaking it up with a wooden spoon, until fully browned and cooked through. Drain any excess fat from the skillet.

Step 4

Stir in the tomato sauce, diced tomatoes, salt, black pepper, and Italian seasoning. Reduce the heat to low and let the mixture simmer for about 5-7 minutes to blend the flavors.

Step 5

While the meat sauce is simmering, combine the sour cream and softened cream cheese in a mixing bowl. Stir until smooth and creamy.

Step 6

In the prepared casserole dish, add the cooked pasta in an even layer. Spread the sour cream and cream cheese mixture evenly over the pasta.

Step 7

Pour the meat sauce over the sour cream layer, spreading it out evenly. Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese over the top of the casserole.

Step 8

Bake the casserole in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

Step 9

Remove the casserole from the oven and let it rest for 5-10 minutes before serving. Enjoy!
