Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 12 oz egg noodles
- 1 lb ground beef
- 1 medium, diced onion
- 2 minced garlic cloves
- 15 oz crushed tomatoes
- 2 tbsp tomato paste
- 1 tsp Italian seasoning
- 1 tsp salt
- 0.5 tsp black pepper
- 8 oz, softened cream cheese
- 1 cup sour cream
- 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 tbsp butter
- 1 tbsp (optional for garnish) chopped parsley
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with cooking spray or a small amount of butter.
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the egg noodles according to the package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
In a large skillet over medium heat, melt the butter. Add the diced onion and sauté for 3-4 minutes until softened. Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1 minute.
Add the ground beef to the skillet and cook until browned, breaking the meat apart with a wooden spoon. Drain any excess fat.
Stir in the crushed tomatoes, tomato paste, Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper. Simmer the mixture for 5-7 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together.
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the cream cheese and sour cream until smooth and creamy.
In the greased baking dish, layer half of the cooked noodles at the bottom. Spread half of the cream cheese mixture over the noodles, then top with half of the meat sauce. Repeat with the remaining noodles, cream cheese mixture, and meat sauce.
Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the top of the casserole.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Remove from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes. Garnish with chopped parsley, if desired, before serving.
