Ingredients

• 1 pound ground beef
• 1 medium, finely chopped yellow onion
• 1 medium, finely chopped green bell pepper
• 2 cloves minced garlic
• 14 ounces diced tomatoes (canned)
• 8 ounces tomato sauce
• 12 ounces egg noodles
• 2 cups sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 0.5 teaspoon paprika
• 0.25 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
• 2 tablespoons, chopped parsley (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook the egg noodles according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.

Step 2

In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the chopped onions and bell peppers, and sauté for 3-4 minutes until softened.

Step 3

Add the minced garlic to the skillet and cook for an additional 30 seconds until fragrant.

Step 4

Push the vegetables to one side of the skillet and add the ground beef. Cook the beef, breaking it up with a spoon, until it is browned and fully cooked, about 5-7 minutes. Drain excess grease if needed.

Step 5

Stir the vegetables and ground beef together. Season with salt, black pepper, paprika, and red pepper flakes if using.

Step 6

Add the diced tomatoes and tomato sauce into the skillet. Stir well and let the mixture simmer on low heat for 8-10 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.

Step 7

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 8

In a large mixing bowl or the pot used to cook the noodles, combine the cooked noodles with the meat and vegetable mixture. Stir until evenly coated.

Step 9

Transfer the mixture into a greased 9x13-inch baking dish. Top with the shredded cheddar cheese, spreading it evenly.

Step 10

Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbling.

Step 11

Remove the Tallerene from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes before serving. Garnish with chopped parsley if desired.
