A quick and hearty comfort meal made with just four simple ingredients! This cheesy, meaty casserole is perfect for busy nights when you need a satisfying dinner without the fuss.

Ingredients

  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 1 (24-ounce) jar marinara sauce
  • 3 cups cooked pasta (such as rotini or penne)
  • 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  • In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef until browned, breaking it up with a spoon as it cooks. Drain any excess fat.
  • Stir in the marinara sauce and let it simmer for 2-3 minutes.
  • Add the cooked pasta to the skillet and mix until well coated with the sauce.
  • Transfer the mixture to a greased 9×13-inch baking dish.
  • Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese evenly over the top.
  • Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
  • Let the casserole cool for a few minutes before serving.

Notes

  • For extra flavor, add seasonings like garlic powder, Italian seasoning, or red pepper flakes.
  • You can swap ground beef for ground turkey or chicken for a leaner option.
  • Try using different cheeses like cheddar or Parmesan for variety.
