Instructions
In a large skillet, cook beef over medium heat until no longer pink; drain. Meanwhile, cook noodles according to package directions; drain. In a large bowl, combine the beef, noodles, oil, 1-1/2 cups Colby cheese, tomato sauce, beans, tomatoes, soup and seasonings.
Transfer to a greased 13-in. x 9-in. baking dish. Cover and bake at 350° for 30 minutes.
Sprinkle with Parmesan cheese and remaining Colby cheese.
Bake, uncovered, for 5-10 minutes longer or until cheese is melted.
Recommended wine: Chianti, Verdicchio, Trebbiano
Italian works really well with Chianti, Verdicchio, and Trebbiano. Italians know food and they know wine. Trebbiano and Verdicchio are Italian white wines that pair well with fish and white meat, while Chianti is a great Italian red for heavier, bolder dishes. One wine you could try is Giacomo Mori Chianti. It has 4.2 out of 5 stars and a bottle costs about 20 dollars.
