Ingredients
1 lb ground beef
8 oz mushrooms, sliced
1 small onion, diced
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
1 can (10.5 oz) cream of mushroom soup
1/2 cup sour cream
1/4 cup milk
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
1 teaspoon dried thyme
Salt and pepper to taste
3 cups cooked pasta (elbow macaroni or shells)
2 tablespoons olive oil
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.
