Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a 9x13 inch baking dish with cooking spray or olive oil.
In a large pot, bring salted water to a rolling boil. Add 1 cup of elbow macaroni and cook until al dente, about 6-8 minutes. Drain and set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, combine 1 pound of ground beef, the cooked macaroni, half of the shredded cheddar and mozzarella cheeses, ½ cup of milk, breadcrumbs, ¼ cup of grated Parmesan cheese, chopped onion, minced garlic, 1 large egg, Worcestershire sauce, dried Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Mix well.
Transfer the meat mixture into the prepared baking dish, pressing it down evenly.
Sprinkle the remaining cheddar and mozzarella cheeses over the top of the meat mixture.
Cover the baking dish tightly with aluminum foil and bake for 25 minutes.
Remove the foil and bake for an additional 15-20 minutes until the cheese is bubbly and golden brown.
Allow the casserole to cool for about 10 minutes before slicing and serving.
