Ingredients
- 1 ½ pounds ground beef
- salt and ground black pepper to taste
- ½ cup chopped yellow onion
- ¼ cup chopped green bell pepper
- ¼ cup chopped carrot
- 2 cloves garlic, chopped
- 1 (15 ounce) can diced tomatoes

- 1 (8 ounce) can sliced mushrooms, drained
- 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar
- 1 (8 ounce) package bow-tie pasta (farfalle)
- 1 (10.75 ounce) can cream of mushroom soup

Directions
-
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook and stir beef, salt, and black pepper in the hot skillet until browned and crumbly, 5 to 7 minutes; drain and discard grease. Add onion, bell pepper, carrot, and garlic to beef; cook and stir until onion is lightly browned, about 15 minutes.
-
Mix tomatoes, tomato sauce, mushrooms, Worcestershire sauce, and brown sugar into beef and vegetable mixture; season with salt and black pepper. Cook on low until liquid is reduced and flavors have blended, about 45 minutes.
-
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
-
Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook pasta at a boil, stirring occasionally, until cooked through yet firm to the bite, about 12 minutes. Drain and transfer pasta to a 9x13-inch casserole dish.
-
Spoon cream of mushroom soup over pasta; top with beef and vegetable mixture. Sprinkle Cheddar cheese on top.
-
Bake in the preheated oven until casserole is bubbling and Cheddar cheese is melted, about 45 minutes.
