How to make Beef Noodle Casserole
Step 1: Following the package directions, cook the egg noodles in a pot of boiling salted water until al dente.
Step 2: Meanwhile, prepare the oven and preheat it to 400 degrees F.
Step 3: In a large pan, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Once the oil is hot, add the ground beef to the pan and cook for about 4 to 5 minutes, breaking the meat into pieces using a spatula as it cooks.
Step 4: To the pan, add the onion and garlic. Continue to cook for another 5 minutes or until the onion has softened and the beef is completely cooked. To taste, season with salt and pepper.
Step 5: Stir in the tomato sauce, tomatoes, and Italian seasoning until blended.
Step 6: When the noodles are done, drain and toss with the beef in the pan to coat.
