How to Make Creamy Cheesy Baked Casserole

Step 1: Cook the Pasta

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil.

Cook the pasta according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.

Avoid overcooking because the pasta will continue baking in the oven.

Step 2: Cook the Meat

Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.

Add diced onions and cook for 3–4 minutes until softened. Stir in garlic and cook for another 30 seconds.

Add the ground beef or chicken and cook thoroughly until browned.

Drain excess grease if needed.

Season with:

• Italian seasoning
• Paprika
• Salt
• Black pepper
