Ingredients
Units
Scale
- 8 oz uncooked egg noodles (this will be about 3/4 bag of a 12 oz bag)
- 2 pounds lean ground beef
- 1 tbsp minced garlic
- 2 tsp onion powder
- 1 tsp Italian seasoning
- 3/4 tsp sea salt
- 1/2 tsp ground black pepper
- 1 24 oz jar spaghetti sauce (use an extra 1/2 jar if you like it saucier)
- 1 cup freshly shredded mozzarella cheese, divided
- 1 cup freshly shredded cheddar cheese, divided
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees F and spray 13×9 baking dish with non-stick cooking spray.
- Prepare noodles on the stovetop, cooking for 1-2 minutes less than al dente.
- While noodles are cooking, brown the ground beef in a large non-stick pan over medium-high heat, until fully cooked. Drain away grease and place hamburger meat back in pan.
- Add minced garlic, onion powder, salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning and stir until combined.
- Next, stir in spaghetti sauce. If you like your pasta saucier, I recommend adding an additional 1/2 jar.
- Lastly, add in 1/2 cup each of shredded mozzarella cheese and shredded cheddar cheese and stir until the cheese has slightly melted. Remove from heat.
- Drain egg noodles and pour into the prepared casserole dish. Next pour in the ground beef mixture and stir until evenly combined.
- Top with remaining shredded mozzarella cheese and shredded cheddar cheese.
- Bake in the oven uncovered for 10-15 minutes, or until the cheese has fully melted.
Notes
Cover and store any leftover ground beef casserole in the fridge for up to 5 days total. You can also transfer it to an airtight container and refrigerate, if preferred.
To freeze, let casserole cool completely and place in a freezer safe Ziploc bag or container for up to 3 months. Let thaw in the fridge and reheat in the microwave until warm.
