Yield: 6 servings
Cuisine: American
Ingredients: 1 pound ground beef; 1 onion, diced; 2 cloves garlic, minced; 1 teaspoon salt; 1/2 teaspoon black pepper; 1 teaspoon dried oregano; 1 teaspoon dried basil; 1 can (14.5 oz) diced tomatoes; 1 can (8 oz) tomato sauce; 2 cups cooked macaroni; 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish and set it aside.
In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef, breaking it up with a spoon, until it is browned and no longer pink, about 5-7 minutes.
Add the diced onion and minced garlic to the skillet with the ground beef. Cook for an additional 3-4 minutes until the onions are soft and translucent.
Season the beef mixture with salt, pepper, dried oregano, and dried basil. Stir well to combine the flavors.
Add the diced tomatoes and tomato sauce to the skillet. Bring the mixture to a simmer and let it cook for about 5 minutes.
Stir in the cooked macaroni until it is well coated with the beef and tomato sauce mixture.
Transfer the beef and macaroni mixture to the prepared baking dish, spreading it out evenly.
Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese over the top of the casserole.
Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes.
Remove the foil and bake for an additional 10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Let the casserole cool slightly before serving. Garnish with fresh herbs, if desired.
