• 3 minced garlic cloves
• 2 cups uncooked pasta shells
• 1 can (10.5 ounces) cream of mushroom soup
• 1 cup sour cream
• 2 cups, divided shredded cheddar cheese

• 1 can (14.5 ounces), drained diced tomatoes
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
• 1 tablespoon, melted butter
• 0.5 cup panko breadcrumbs
• 2 tablespoons, chopped parsley

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

In a large skillet over medium-high heat, cook the ground beef until browned, breaking it into crumbles as it cooks. Drain any excess fat.

Step 3

Add the diced onion and minced garlic to the skillet. Sauté for 3-4 minutes or until the onion becomes translucent.

Step 4

Season the beef mixture with salt, black pepper, and Italian seasoning. Stir well and remove from heat.

Step 5

While the beef is cooking, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the pasta shells according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.

Step 6

In a large mixing bowl, combine the cream of mushroom soup, sour cream, 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese, and diced tomatoes. Mix until evenly combined.

Step 7

Add the cooked pasta shells, beef mixture, and steamed broccoli to the bowl. Stir gently to coat all ingredients with the sauce.

Step 8

Lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish. Spread the casserole mixture evenly into the dish.

Step 9

Sprinkle the remaining 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese over the top.

Step 10

In a small bowl, combine the melted butter and panko breadcrumbs. Mix well, then sprinkle the breadcrumb mixture evenly over the cheese layer.

Step 11

Bake the casserole in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly, and the breadcrumbs are golden brown.

Step 12

Remove the casserole from the oven and let it cool for 5-10 minutes before serving.

Step 13

Garnish with chopped parsley, if desired, and serve hot. Enjoy your Casserole Supreme!
