Instructions to Deliciousness

Now, let’s get cooking! Follow these simple steps to bring your casserole to life:

  1. In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef, onion, and garlic until the beef is browned and the onion is translucent. Make sure to drain the excess fat because nobody likes a greasy casserole!
  2. Add in the diced tomatoes (with their juice), tomato sauce, elbow macaroni, and Worcestershire sauce. Stir well to combine.
  3. Season with salt and pepper to your liking. (Don’t go too crazy now; we still want to taste that beef!)
  4. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to a simmer. Cover and let it cook for about 20 minutes, or until the macaroni is tender.
  5. Once the macaroni is cooked, remove the skillet from the heat and stir in 1 cup of cheddar cheese until it’s beautifully melty and gooey.
  6. Transfer the beef mixture to a greased casserole dish and sprinkle the remaining cheese on top. If you’re feeling cheesy, you can add even more!
  7. Bake the casserole in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 15 minutes, until the cheese is bubbly and golden. Your kitchen is about to smell heavenly.
  8. Let it cool for a few minutes before serving. Sprinkle some chopped parsley on top for that gourmet touch!

And there you have it—your very own Grandmas Ground Beef Casserole! It’s hearty, cheesy, and oh-so-satisfying. Serve it up for dinner tonight and watch your friends and family dig in with smiles and applause. Enjoy!
