Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 12 ounces egg noodles
- 1 pound minced beef
- 1 large yellow onion, finely diced
- 3 garlic cloves, minced
- 14 ounces tomato sauce
- 14 ounces diced tomatoes
- 2 teaspoons Italian seasoning
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
- 1 cup sour cream
- 4 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a 9x13-inch casserole dish lightly with cooking spray or oil.
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook the egg noodles according to package instructions until al dente. Drain them and set aside.
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced beef and cook until browned, breaking it up with a spoon or spatula. Drain excess fat if necessary.
Add the diced onion and garlic to the skillet with the cooked beef. Cook for 3-4 minutes until softened and fragrant.
Stir in the tomato sauce, diced tomatoes, Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper. Let the mixture simmer for 5 minutes, then remove from heat.
In a medium bowl, mix together the sour cream and softened cream cheese until smooth and well combined.
Layer half of the cooked egg noodles into the bottom of the prepared casserole dish.
Spread half of the sour cream and cream cheese mixture evenly over the noodles.
Top with half of the minced beef and tomato mixture.
Sprinkle half of the mozzarella and cheddar cheeses over the beef layer.
Repeat the layers with the remaining noodles, sour cream mixture, beef mixture, and cheeses.
Cover the casserole dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes.
Remove the foil and bake uncovered for an additional 10-15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Let the casserole cool for 5 minutes before serving. Enjoy your hearty minced beef and noodle casserole!
