Meat and Dairy
- 1 pound ground beef

Pasta
Condiments and Seasonings
- 1 can cream of mushroom soup (approximately 10.5 ounces)
- 1 cup chopped onion
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to prepare for baking the casserole.
- Cook Noodles: Cook the egg noodles according to the package instructions until al dente, then drain and set aside.
- Brown Beef and Onion: In a skillet over medium heat, brown the ground beef and chopped onions together until the beef is fully cooked and the onions are tender, about 7-10 minutes.
- Combine Ingredients: Stir in the cream of mushroom soup, sour cream, garlic powder, salt, and pepper into the beef and onion mixture, mixing well to create a creamy sauce.
- Add Noodles: Add the cooked and drained egg noodles to the beef mixture and stir thoroughly to ensure even coating.
- Assemble Casserole: Transfer the beef and noodle mixture to a baking dish, spreading it out evenly. Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese evenly on top.
- Bake: Place the casserole in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, until the cheese is melted, golden, and bubbly.
Notes
- For a lighter version, substitute ground turkey for ground beef and use reduced-fat sour cream and cheese.
- Adding a cup of frozen peas or chopped mushrooms can introduce extra veggies and flavor.
- Leftovers can be refrigerated for up to 3 days and reheated in the oven or microwave.
- Ensure noodles are not overcooked before assembling to prevent a mushy casserole.
