Ingredients
Scale
Proteins:
- 1 pound ground beef
Starches:
- 8 ounces (226 grams) egg noodles
Dairy and Seasonings:
- 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 can cream of mushroom soup
- 1/2 cup sour cream
- 1 medium onion, chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 can tomato sauce
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
- Heat the oven to create a warm cooking environment at 350°F, preparing for the casserole assembly.
- Prepare egg noodles by following package guidelines, ensuring they are cooked to al dente perfection, then thoroughly drain excess water.
- In a large skillet, transform ground beef into a flavorful base by sautéing with finely chopped onions and minced garlic, carefully eliminating any accumulated grease.
- Enhance the meat mixture by incorporating rich tomato sauce, creamy mushroom soup, and a blend of complementary seasonings, stirring until ingredients meld harmoniously.
- Create a unified casserole foundation by gently folding the seasoned beef mixture with the tender noodles and velvety sour cream, ensuring even distribution of flavors.
- Transfer the luxurious mixture into a suitable baking dish, spreading it evenly and crowning the surface with a generous layer of shredded cheese.
- Place the casserole in the preheated oven, allowing it to bake for approximately 20-25 minutes until the edges bubble tantalizingly and the cheese transforms into a golden, melted blanket.
Notes
- Customize the casserole by swapping ground beef with ground turkey or plant-based crumbles for a leaner or vegetarian version.
- Add extra vegetables like bell peppers or zucchini to boost nutritional value and create more complex flavor profiles.
- Use low-fat sour cream and reduced-sodium mushroom soup to make a lighter, healthier dish without compromising taste.
- Experiment with different cheese blends like sharp cheddar, mozzarella, or pepper jack to elevate the overall taste and texture of the casserole.
