Instructions
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F. You’ll need it ready for later baking step.
Cook your rotini pasta till it’s just al dente according to package directions. You wanna drain it and set it aside to keep that texture nice.
Next, heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Toss in your chopped onions and garlic and cook till onions get translucent and smell yummy.
Now add your ground beef to the skillet. Brown it up, breaking apart as it cooks evenly. Season it with salt and black pepper while you do this.
Stir in tomato paste and diced tomatoes. Mix it all good till everything’s combined and smells fantastic.
Then add your Dijon mustard and cooked pasta to the skillet mix. Stir well so every bite will have all those flavors together.
Transfer everything to a greased 9x13 baking dish, then pop it in the oven for 20 to 25 minutes or till it’s fully heated through.
Once it’s ready, serve that cheeseburger casserole hot and enjoy every bite.
Notes
Serve hot and enjoy the comforting cheesy flavors of the casserole.
