Ingredients

Scale

Meat and Dairy

  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese

Pasta

  • 8 ounces egg noodles

Vegetables and Seasonings

  • 1 cup chopped onion
  • 1 can cream of mushroom soup (approximately 10.5 ounces)
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven: Set your oven to 350°F (175°C) to ensure it’s ready for baking the casserole later.
  2. Cook noodles: Boil the egg noodles according to the package directions until al dente, then drain and set aside.
  3. Brown beef and onion: In a skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef along with the chopped onions until the beef is browned and fully cooked, and the onions are soft.
  4. Mix base ingredients: Stir in the cream of mushroom soup, sour cream, garlic powder, salt, and pepper into the beef and onion mixture. Combine thoroughly to create a creamy sauce.
  5. Add noodles: Fold the cooked and drained noodles into the beef mixture, ensuring they are well coated with the creamy sauce.
  6. Assemble casserole: Transfer the combined noodle and beef mixture into a baking dish, spreading it evenly. Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the top.
  7. Bake: Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the cheese is melted, bubbly, and slightly golden on top.

Notes

  • You can substitute cream of mushroom soup with cream of celery or cream of chicken soup for a different flavor.
  • For added nutrition and flavor, consider mixing in some frozen peas or mushrooms when combining the noodles and beef mixture.
  • Leftovers keep well for up to 3 days when refrigerated.
  • To reheat, bake covered in the oven or microwave until warmed through.
  • Using full-fat sour cream and cheese contributes to a richer flavor, but reduced-fat versions can be substituted for a lighter dish.
