Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 12 ounces Egg noodles
- 1 pound Ground beef
- 1 medium Yellow onion, finely diced
- 2 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
- 15 ounces Tomato sauce
- 1 cup Sour cream
- 4 ounces Cream cheese, softened
- 2 cups Shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Chopped fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 9x13-inch casserole dish with nonstick spray or a thin layer of olive oil.
Bring a large pot of salted water to boil and cook the egg noodles according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the diced onion and minced garlic, cooking until softened and fragrant, about 3-4 minutes.
Add the ground beef to the skillet and cook until browned, breaking it up into small pieces with a spoon. Drain any excess grease.
Stir in the tomato sauce, salt, and black pepper. Simmer the mixture for 5-7 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld. Remove from heat.
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the sour cream and softened cream cheese until smooth and creamy.
Spread half of the cooked egg noodles evenly in the bottom of the prepared casserole dish. Top with half of the sour cream mixture, spreading it evenly. Then, layer half of the beef and tomato sauce mixture on top.
Repeat the layers with the remaining half of the noodles, sour cream mixture, and beef mixture.
Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the top layer.
Cover the casserole dish with foil and bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Remove the casserole from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes before serving. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley, if desired, and enjoy!
