½ cup diced onion
1 28-ounce can diced tomatoes
2 pounds lean ground beef, pork or turkey
½ bag macaroni or other noodles
1 cup cheddar
1 cup mozzarella cheeses
2 tbsp cream cheese
optional seasonings: I used salt, black pepper, crushed red pepper,
garlic and a dash of hot sauce
Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Brown
onions and meat in pan. Boil noodles
according to directions and drain. Once
the meat is browned, mix in cream cheese and diced tomatoes. Remove from heat and stir in noodles. Pour into a greased 9 x 13 baking dish. Bake
covered for 30 minutes. Remove tinfoil
and top with the shredded cheeses. Bake for
10 more minutes or until cheese is golden brown. (This can also be refrigerated overnight and
cooked the next day. ) Sprinkle with parmesan and enjoy.
I used ground pork for this recipe because it was something different
and I had it on hand. I used egg noodles
instead of macaroni. The original recipe
did not call for the cream cheese but I felt it was a nice touch. I made mine last night and warmed it up today
for lunch. I added a little bit of
spaghetti sauce as I knew it probably dried out a bit in the fridge last
night. It was a pretty tasty casserole
that was easy and cheap to make.
