🍲 How To Make Pioneer Woman Johnny Marzetti

1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
2. For the mac and cheese, bring a big pot of water to a boil. It will take about 7 minutes of cooking to get the pasta to a firmer state than al dente. It will keep getting softer in the dish if I don’t cook it quite long enough. After draining the pasta, put it back in the pot and set it away.
3. While that is going on, heat the olive oil in a big pan over medium-low heat. It will take about five minutes of cooking after adding the onion, green pepper, and mushrooms to the pan. Put in the ground beef and cook it until there is no more pink. Take the fat out of the beef mix, and then add salt and pepper to taste.
4. Chop up some tomatoes and add them to the meat mixture along with sugar, oregano, Italian herbs, and tomato sauce. Let it cook on low heat for about five minutes, stirring every now and then.
5. Carefully add the beef mixture to the pot with the noodles, and then stir everything together. Mix in 1 cup of Italian blend and 1 cup of cheddar cheese. Put the mix into a 9-by-13-inch baking dish. Add the last two cups of cheese on top. It should be baked for 30 minutes or until the cheese melts and turns brown. Add parsley on top to serve.

💭 Recipe Tips:

• Ensure pasta is cooked al dente to avoid mushiness.
• Use a mix of cheddar and Italian blend cheese for optimal flavor.
• Adjust spice level by adding more or less garlic and Italian herbs to suit taste preferences.
• Don’t overcrowd the pan when sautéing vegetables to ensure even cooking.
• For a thicker sauce, simmer the tomato mixture longer or add a tablespoon of tomato paste.
