Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the onions and garlic and sauté for about 3 minutes until softened.
Add the ground beef, breaking it up with a spoon, and cook until browned. Drain any excess fat.
Stir in the sliced mushrooms and cook for about 5 minutes, until tender. Add the Worcestershire sauce, dried thyme, salt, and pepper. Stir to combine.
In a separate bowl, mix the cream of mushroom soup, sour cream, and milk until smooth.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked pasta, the beef and mushroom mixture, and the soup mixture. Stir everything together until well combined.
Transfer the mixture to a greased 9×13-inch baking dish. Sprinkle the shredded cheddar and mozzarella cheeses evenly on top.
Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until bubbly and the cheese is melted and golden brown.
Let the casserole rest for 5 minutes before serving.

Notes

If you prefer a gluten-free option, swap out the pasta for a gluten-free variety and use gluten-free cream of mushroom soup.

Add spinach or bell peppers for extra color and nutrition.

Ground turkey or chicken can be substituted for the beef for a lighter option.

Feel free to mix different cheeses like Swiss or Gouda.

Leftovers can be stored in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for 15-20 minutes.
