How to Make Beef Macaroni And Tomato Casserole

Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
Cook elbow macaroni according to package directions until al dente (about 8-10 minutes). Drain and set aside.
In a large skillet, brown the ground beef over medium-high heat. Drain off any excess grease.
Add the minced garlic, oregano, basil, chopped onion, and green bell pepper to the skillet. Cook until the vegetables are softened, about 5-7 minutes.
Stir in the crushed tomatoes and tomato sauce. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Bring to a simmer and cook for 5-10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
In a large bowl, combine the cooked macaroni and the beef mixture.
Pour the macaroni and beef mixture into a greased 9x13 inch casserole dish or lasagna pan.
Sprinkle the mozzarella and Parmesan cheese evenly over the top.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly, and the casserole is heated through.
