Preparation
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease your 9x13-inch baking dish.
- In a large skillet, brown the ground beef over medium heat, draining any excess fat after cooking.
- Add the diced onion and minced garlic to the skillet for 2-3 minutes until softened.
- Stir in the tomato sauce, diced tomatoes, Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper. Simmer for about 5 minutes to combine flavors.
- Meanwhile, cook the elbow macaroni according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked macaroni, the beef mixture, cheddar cheese, mozzarella cheese, and sour cream. Ensure it is mixed well.
- Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking dish, making sure it’s evenly spread. Top with grated Parmesan cheese.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the casserole is bubbly and the cheese is melted and golden.
- Let cool for 5 minutes before serving.
