Step-by-Step Instructions:
Begin with the Base: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add chopped onion and ground beef, cooking until the meat is browned and onions are translucent. Stir in minced garlic, salt, black pepper, and paprika, cooking until fragrant.
Perfect Pasta: In a separate pot, bring lightly salted water to a boil. Add pasta and cook until al dente; drain.
Combine the Elements: In the skillet with the beef mixture, stir in condensed tomato and mushroom soups along with milk, blending into a savory mixture.
Marry the Flavors: Add drained pasta to the skillet, tossing to coat pasta with the sauce.
Assemble the Delight: Transfer mixture to a greased baking dish. Optionally, sprinkle shredded cheese on top for added creaminess.
Bake to Perfection: Place casserole in the preheated oven and bake uncovered for 25 to 30 minutes, until bubbly and golden brown.
The Final Touch: Optionally, garnish with dried parsley for added color and flavor. Serve and enjoy!
