How to Make Zesty Beef Casserole
- Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large frying pan over medium heat.
- Add 1 pound ground beef, 1 medium onion (chopped), 2 cloves garlic (minced), and 1 green bell pepper (chopped).
- Scramble-fry for about 10 minutes, or until the beef is no longer pink, breaking it up with a spoon.
- Drain off any excess grease.
- Add 28 ounces of crushed tomatoes (with their juice), 1 teaspoon of dried oregano, and 1/2 teaspoon of salt.
- Stir to combine.
- Transfer the beef mixture to an ungreased 3-quart casserole dish.
- Add 1 pound elbow macaroni, 1 cup beef broth, 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese, 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley, 1/4 teaspoon black pepper, and 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes.
- Stir gently to combine.
- Bake, covered, in a preheated 350°F (175°C) oven for about 1 hour, stirring once halfway through, until the noodles are tender but firm.
- Sprinkle 1/2 cup of shredded mozzarella cheese over the top.
- Bake, uncovered, for another 5 to 10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
- Garnish with 1/4 cup sliced black olives before serving.
