How to Make Ground Beef And Noodle Bake

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a large skillet, brown the ground beef over medium-high heat, breaking it up with a spoon. Drain off any excess grease.
  3. Add the chopped onion, minced garlic, and green bell pepper to the skillet. Cook until softened, about 5-7 minutes.
  4. Stir in the tomato sauce, oregano, salt, pepper, and beef broth. Bring to a simmer and cook for 5 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.
  5. Stir in 1/4 cup of grated Parmesan cheese.
  6. In a large bowl, combine the cooked beef mixture and cooked egg noodles. Mix well to combine.
  7. Transfer the mixture to a greased 13x9 inch baking dish.
  8. Sprinkle with additional Parmesan cheese if desired.
  9. Top with 2 cups of shredded mozzarella cheese.
  10. Bake for 45 minutes, or until heated through and bubbly. The cheese should be melted and golden brown.
  11. Let stand for 10 minutes before serving.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Chef's secret: layers of flavor make a dish truly memorable! Consider what a little extra something could bring – perhaps a touch of acidity like a good vinegar or citrus zest, a hint of smokiness from paprika, a bit of umami from mushrooms or soy sauce, or a sprinkle of toasted nuts for texture. Experiment and taste as you go!
