Ingredients
  

  • 1 lb ground beef lean
  • 1 medium onion sliced finely
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 tsp ground black pepper
  • 2 teaspoon minced garlic
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp chili powder
  • 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
  • 2 tbsp tomato paste
  • 1 petite diced tomato in a 15-oz can
  • 2 cups of water
  • 3 cubes Beef Bouillon
  • 2 cups large elbow macaroni dried
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 1/4 cup whole milk
  • 1.5 cups mozzarella cheese shredded
  • 1.5 cups cheddar cheese shredded
  • 1 tbsp chopped parsley

Instructions
 

  • Add water and bouillon cubes to a medium bowl. Microwave on high for four minutes or until beef bouillon cubes have dissolved. Set aside.
  • Cook ground beef in a large skillet on medium heat until it is no longer pink. Drain the grease and return the beef to the pan.
  • Reduce heat to medium. Add onion, salt, pepper and minced garlic. Stir and cook for about 5-7 minutes.
  • Mix together Worcestershire sauce, tomato paste and diced tomatoes (still with their juices).
  • Then, add the beef mixture to the large elbow macaroni and beef broth broth and mix well.
  • Let simmer on medium-low heat for 5 minutes. Cover and let simmer for 5 minutes. Stir. Continue to cover the pot and simmer for 5 minutes more, or until the pasta is tender.
  • Mixture should be covered and stirred in milk and sour cream.
  • Half of the beef and pasta mixture should be poured into a 9x13 inch glass baking dish. Sprinkle 1/2 cup mozzarella cheese and 1/2 cup cheddar cheese on top of the casserole.
  • Sprinkle the rest of the beef and pasta mix over the top. Sprinkle the remaining cheese.
  • Bake covered at 400°F for 10 minutes or until casserole is bubbling.
