Directions

  1. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook and stir beef, salt, and black pepper in the hot skillet until browned and crumbly, 5 to 7 minutes; drain and discard grease. Add onion, green bell pepper, carrot, and garlic to ground beef; cook and stir until onion is lightly browned, about 15 minutes.
  2. Mix tomatoes, tomato sauce, mushrooms, brown sugar, and Worcestershire sauce into ground beef-vegetable mixture; season with salt and black pepper. Cook on low until liquid is reduced and flavors have blended, about 45 minutes.
  3. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  4. Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook the bow-tie pasta at a boil, stirring occasionally, until cooked through yet firm to the bite, about 12 minutes; drain and transfer pasta to a 9x13-inch casserole dish.
  5. Spoon cream of mushroom soup over bow-tie pasta; top with ground beef-tomato mixture. Sprinkle Cheddar cheese on top.
  6. Bake in the preheated oven until casserole is bubbling and Cheddar cheese is melted, about 45 minutes.

Delicious. A good sized casserole with a lot of flavor. I only cooked the beef mixture about 20 minutes(instead of 45)and baked the entire dish for 30 min. I used whole wheat pasta, added a little liquid to the soup, used fresh mushrooms and was generous with the cheese on top. This recipe is a keeper.

1 family member loved it, 1 said OK, 1 ate it but would not request it again. Not enough flavor, considering using Rotel tomatoes instead of plain diced next time and adding cheese midway through the baking as the cheddar when cooked that long gets tough.

Large mild casserole. I added a small amount of milk to the cream of mushroom soup. I only simmered the beef mixture for about 20 -25 mins. A very versatile dish which is kid friendly.

Tasted a bit like hamburger helper. I would use mozzarella cheese next time. Cheddar, with pasta and tom sauce didnt work for us. Enjoyed trying it. Thanks CW1113

I made this for the first time tonight, and it was a hit with our family. I used elbow macaroni instead of bowtie pasta, added butter to the pasta as another reviewer mentioned, and reduced the cooking time to 20 mins for the meat, and baked for 30 minutes (pressed for time). Very flavorful and filling.

This is very tasty and easy to make. I was really in a hurry to go run a Boy Scout meeting, so I used canned sliced carrots instead. This is a keeper!

I was pleasantly surprised on how good this casserole was! It had great flavors. I added half of the shredded cheese on top of the mushroom soup. I also baked half the time then added the other cheese on top.I will defiantly make this again!

It was very easy to make, and pretty inexpensive which I appreciate. I did find that the cooking time was a lot less then in the directions, which was even better. I used a little more of the diced tomatoes then the recipe called for and put about two tablespoons of butter over the hot noodles before putting in the oven which I think made it more moist. I also added extra brown sugar and soy sauce to the meat which I've found compliments worcestershire sauce. Yum.
