Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook the egg noodles according to package instructions. Drain and set aside.
In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the diced onion and minced garlic, cooking until softened, about 3-4 minutes.
Add the ground beef to the skillet and cook until browned, breaking it up with a spoon as it cooks. Drain any excess fat.
Reduce the heat to low and stir in the cream of mushroom soup, sour cream, salt, and black pepper. Mix until well-combined and remove from heat.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked egg noodles, frozen hash browns, and the beef mixture. Mix until evenly distributed.
Transfer the mixture to a greased 9x13-inch casserole dish. Spread it out evenly.
Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese over the top of the casserole.
Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly, and the top is golden brown.
Remove from the oven and let it cool for 5 minutes. Garnish with chopped parsley, if desired, and serve hot.
