Ingredients
- 12 ounces egg noodles
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1 medium yellow onion, diced
- 10 ounces diced tomatoes with green chilies (Rotel)
- 8 ounces tomato sauce
- 1 packet taco seasoning mix
- 1 cup sour cream
- 2 cups cheddar cheese, shredded
- 1 cup Monterey Jack cheese, shredded
- 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro, chopped (optional)
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Cook the egg noodles in a large pot of salted boiling water according to the package instructions. Drain and set aside.
In a large skillet, cook the ground beef over medium-high heat until browned. Drain any excess grease.
Add the diced onion to the skillet and sauté with the beef for 3-4 minutes until softened.
Stir in the diced tomatoes with green chilies, tomato sauce, taco seasoning, salt, and black pepper. Simmer for 5 minutes.
Remove the skillet from heat and gently fold in the sour cream until well combined.
In a 9x13-inch baking dish, layer half of the cooked egg noodles, followed by half of the beef mixture. Sprinkle 1 cup of cheddar cheese over the layer. Repeat the layers with the remaining noodles, beef mixture, and cheddar cheese.
Top the casserole with the shredded Monterey Jack cheese.
Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until hot and bubbly.
Remove from the oven and let cool for 5 minutes. Garnish with chopped fresh cilantro, if desired.
Serve warm and enjoy your Ole Mexican Noodle Bake!
