Main Ingredients
- 1 pound ground beef
- 8 ounces egg noodles
- 1 cup sour cream
- 1 can (10.5 ounces) cream of mushroom soup
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 cup chopped onion
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- 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 well to remove excess water.
- Brown Beef and Onions: In a skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef and chopped onions together until the beef is fully browned and onions are softened, stirring occasionally to break up the meat.
- Mix Sauce: Stir in the cream of mushroom soup, sour cream, garlic powder, salt, and pepper into the cooked beef and onions until well combined to create a creamy sauce.
- Combine Noodles and Beef Mixture: Add the drained noodles to the beef and sauce mixture, stirring thoroughly so the noodles are evenly coated.
- Assemble Casserole: Transfer the entire mixture into a baking dish and evenly sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese on top.
- Bake: Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the cheese is melted, bubbly, and slightly golden.
Notes
- For a lighter version, substitute ground beef with ground turkey or chicken.
- You can add vegetables like peas or mushrooms for extra nutrition and flavor.
- Make sure to not overcook the noodles to avoid a mushy casserole.
- Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and reheated in the oven or microwave.
