Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 12 oz egg noodles
- 1 lb ground beef (85% lean)
- 1 medium yellow onion, diced
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 14.5 oz diced tomatoes
- 8 oz tomato sauce
- 1 cup sour cream
- 4 oz cream cheese, softened
- 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tsp dried Italian seasoning
- 1 tsp salt
- 0.5 tsp black pepper
- 2 tbsp chopped parsley, for garnish
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish and set aside.
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the egg noodles according to the package instructions until just al dente. Drain and set aside.
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the ground beef and cook, breaking it apart with a wooden spoon, until browned, about 5-7 minutes.
Add the diced onion to the beef and cook for 3-4 minutes, until softened. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1 minute, until fragrant.
Add the diced tomatoes, tomato sauce, Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper to the skillet. Stir well and simmer for 5 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld. Remove from heat.
In a medium bowl, combine the sour cream and softened cream cheese. Stir until smooth and creamy.
Add the cooked egg noodles to the tomato-beef mixture and stir until evenly coated.
Layer half of the noodle mixture into the prepared baking dish. Spread the sour cream mixture over the noodles, then top with the remaining noodle mixture.
Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the top.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Remove the casserole from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes. Garnish with chopped parsley before serving.
