How to Make Beef Lombardi

  1. Brown 1 lb ground beef in a large skillet over medium-high heat until no longer pink. Drain off any excess grease.
  2. Stir in 1 (28 ounce) can diced tomatoes, 1 (10 ounce) can diced tomatoes and green chilies (Rotel), 1 tablespoon sugar, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper.
  3. Cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  4. Add 2 tablespoons tomato paste and 1 bay leaf. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 30 minutes.
  5. While the beef simmers, cook 1 (16 ounce) package egg noodles according to package directions. Drain well.
  6. In a large bowl, combine the cooked noodles, 1/4 cup chopped green onions, and 1/2 cup sour cream. Mix until well blended.
  7. Lightly grease a 13x9 inch baking dish with cooking spray.
  8. Spread the noodle mixture evenly in the prepared baking dish.
  9. Top with the beef mixture.
  10. Sprinkle evenly with 1 1/2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese and 1/2 cup shredded Parmesan cheese.
  11. Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil.
  12. Bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 35 minutes.
  13. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 5 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
  14. Let stand for 10 minutes before serving. Garnish with fresh parsley sprigs (optional).
