Delicious Angel Beef Casserole: A Hearty, Comforting Meal (Page 2 ) | March 7, 2025

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the angel hair pasta and cook according to the package instructions (usually about 3-4 minutes). Drain and toss with olive oil to prevent sticking. Set aside.
Prepare the Beef Mixture:

In a large skillet, cook the ground beef over medium heat until browned, breaking it up with a spoon as it cooks. Drain any excess fat.
Add the chopped onion and minced garlic to the skillet, and cook for 2-3 minutes until softened and fragrant.
Stir in the cream of mushroom soup, sour cream, shredded cheddar cheese, Worcestershire sauce, thyme, salt, and pepper. Simmer for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the mixture is heated through and well combined.
Assemble the Casserole:

In a large greased baking dish, layer the cooked angel hair pasta evenly on the bottom.
Spoon the beef mixture over the pasta and spread it out evenly to cover.
Top with Cheese and Breadcrumbs:

Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese and grated Parmesan evenly over the casserole. If using breadcrumbs, sprinkle them on top for a crunchy texture.
Bake the Casserole:

Bake the casserole in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the top is golden and bubbly.
Serve:

Remove the casserole from the oven and let it cool for 5 minutes before serving. Slice and serve warm for a comforting meal.
