Cheesy Beef and Pasta Casserole

Delicious ground beef cooked with mushrooms in hearty tomato basil sauce tossed with cavatelli pasta and melted mozzarella cheese, served with a side of sourdough toast topped with herb butter.

Can this dinner be even more delicious?

This is one of those dishes that can be whipped up in no time and feed an army. It’s easy to make, customizable, and freezable. In fact, make 2 casseroles and freeze one. That way, you got dinner ready next week.

You can also make it in advance and bake-off at the last minute.

Do you know that show on TV called Chopped?

Where chefs are presented with a mystery basket of ingredients and they have to cook a meal using those items?

Well, they should invite stay-at-home moms to the show, because we perform this task daily.

Open the fridge, check what we have, what’s about to go bad, check the pantry, see what’s about to expire, and create a delicious meal that picky eaters will eat. 

Chopped: the mom version. 

In this case, I had some ground beef, mushrooms, a bottle of Little Italy from the Bronx pasta sauce, Celentano Cavatelli frozen pasta, shredded cheese, Land O Lakes butter spread, and The Rustik Oven Sourdough bread.

And ta-da! I made Cheesy Beef and Pasta Casserole served with herb butter sourdough. The whole kitchen will smell amazing, especially when spreading that herb butter over toasted bread. .

The herbs I picked from my patio. Use whichever ones your family likes.
