Baked Rotini Beef Casserole

Ingredients

- 10 oz Rotini pasta
- 1 lb Ground beef
- 1 cup Frozen mixed vegetables
- 24 oz Pasta sauce
- 14.5 oz can Diced tomatoes
- 6 oz can Tomato paste
- 1 medium Onion, diced
- 1 tsp Dried oregano
- 1 tsp Dried basil
- 1 tsp Garlic powder
- 1 tsp Salt
- 1/2 tsp Black pepper
- 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
- 2 cups Shredded cheese (such as mozzarella or cheddar)

Instructions

1. Preheat the Oven
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

2. Cook the Pasta
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the rotini pasta and cook for about 8 minutes or until al dente. Drain and set aside.

3. Brown the Beef
In a large skillet over medium heat, add the ground beef and diced onion. Cook, stirring frequently, until the beef is browned and the onions are translucent, about 7-8 minutes. Drain any excess fat.

4. Prepare the Sauce
Add the diced tomatoes, tomato paste, pasta sauce, oregano, basil, garlic powder, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and pepper to the skillet with the beef. Stir until well combined and bring to a simmer. Let the sauce cook for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.

5. Combine Ingredients
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked rotini, the beef and sauce mixture, and the frozen mixed vegetables. Mix thoroughly to ensure even distribution.

6. Assemble the Casserole
Pour the pasta mixture into a 9x13-inch baking dish. Spread it out evenly. Sprinkle the shredded cheese over the top.

7. Bake
Place the baking dish in the preheated oven. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the cheese is golden and bubbly.

8. Serve
Remove the casserole from the oven and let it cool for 5 minutes before serving. Enjoy your delicious Baked Rotini Beef Casserole!
