Directions:
Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Cook Noodles: Cook the egg noodles according to package instructions until al dente, then drain and set aside.
Brown the Beef: In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and minced garlic, sautéing until the onion is translucent. Add the ground beef, breaking it up with a spoon. Cook until the beef is browned and no longer pink. Drain any excess fat.
Add Tomatoes: Stir in the canned tomato sauce and diced tomatoes into the skillet with the beef. Add Italian herbs, salt, and pepper. Bring the mixture to a simmer and let it cook for about 5 minutes to blend the flavors.
Combine Noodles and Beef Mixture: In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked noodles and the beef-tomato mixture. Toss gently to mix well.
Assemble Casserole: Transfer the noodle and beef mixture into a greased 9x13 inch baking dish. Sprinkle the top evenly with shredded cheddar cheese and grated Parmesan cheese.
Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for about 20-25 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Serve: Let the casserole cool for a few minutes before serving.
