How to Make Beef Lombardi Casserole

  1. Brown 1 lb ground beef in a large skillet or stock pot over medium heat. Drain off any excess grease.
  2. Stir in 2 (10 ounce) cans of Ro-Tel diced tomatoes and green chilies (mild or original), 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. Simmer for 30 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  5. While the beef simmers, cook 1 (16 ounce) package egg noodles according to package directions. Drain and set aside.
  6. In a large bowl, gently combine the cooked noodles, 1/4 cup chopped green onions, and 1 cup sour cream (or plain yogurt).
  7. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x13 inch baking dish.
  8. Spread the cooked noodles evenly in the prepared baking dish.
  9. Top the noodles with the beef mixture, spreading evenly.
  10. Sprinkle 1 1/2 cups shredded Monterey Jack cheese (or mozzarella cheese) evenly over the beef mixture.
  11. Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil.
  12. Bake for 30-40 minutes, or until heated through and bubbly. Remove foil during the last 10 minutes to allow the cheese to brown slightly.
  13. Garnish with 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley, if desired. Serve hot and enjoy!
