- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1/2 teaspoon dried basil
- 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes
- 1 can (14.5 ounces) diced tomatoes, drained

To start, preheat your oven to 350 degrees F. In a large skillet, cook the ground beef over medium-high heat until browned and cooked through. Add the onion and garlic and cook until softened, about 5 minutes. Drain any excess fat from the skillet.
Add the salt, black pepper, paprika, oregano, basil, thyme, and red pepper flakes to the skillet and stir to combine. Add the diced tomatoes and tomato soup and stir to combine. Reduce the heat to low and let the mixture simmer for 10 minutes.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, sour cream, mayonnaise, ketchup, and mustard until smooth. Add the cooked macaroni to the skillet with the beef mixture and stir to combine. Pour the milk mixture over the macaroni and beef mixture and stir to combine.
Transfer the mixture to a 9x13 inch baking dish. Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese over the top of the mixture, followed by the breadcrumbs. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly and the breadcrumbs are golden brown.
