Ingredients
- 1 lb ground beef
- 1 lb fettuccine egg noodles
- 1 medium yellow onion diced to about ¼ inch
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon oregano
- 2 14.5oz cans tomato sauce
- 1 14.5oz can diced tomatoes
- salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Brown the ground beef in a sauté pan. At the same time, begin bringing water to a boil so the noodles can cook while the sauce warms later in the recipe.
- Salt and pepper the ground beef and add the onion. Cook until the onion is translucent.
- Deglaze the pan by adding the tomato sauce. Stir to combine.
- Add the diced tomatoes. Stir to combine.
- Add the oregano and garlic powder. Stir to combine. Heat on low until warm (about five minutes). While the sauce warms up, and to ensure the noodles stay al dente after baking, cook the noodles a couple minutes less than the package directions. Before combining noodles with the sauce, this is an opportunity to taste test and determine if more seasoning is needed.
- In a roasting pan, stir to combine the sauce and noodles.
- Bake covered at 350 for 20 minutes.
- Uncover and return to the oven. Bake for another 10 minutes. For a crispy top, broil for 3-5 minutes. Do not walk away, as broiling is a quick process. Remove from the oven.
- Serve immediately.
