Instructions

Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
In a skillet, cook the ground beef over medium heat until browned. Add the onion and garlic, cooking until softened.
Stir in the diced tomatoes, Italian seasoning, salt, pepper, and paprika. Let simmer for 5 minutes.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the cream of mushroom soup, sour cream, and milk.
Stir in the cooked pasta, making sure it’s well coated with the creamy sauce.
Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.
Layer the casserole: start with half of the beef mixture, then half of the creamy pasta, and half of the shredded cheese. Repeat with the remaining ingredients.
If using breadcrumbs, mix with melted butter and sprinkle over the casserole.
Bake uncovered for 25-30 minutes until bubbly and golden on top.
Let sit for 5 minutes before serving.
