Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 12 ounces egg noodles
- 1 pound ground sausage
- 1 medium, diced onion
- 3 cloves, minced garlic
- 1 can (10.5 ounces) cream of mushroom soup
- 1 cup sour cream
- 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 cup milk
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons, chopped (optional, for garnish) parsley
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly 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 al dente. Drain and set aside.
In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the diced onion and cook until soft and translucent, about 3-4 minutes. Add the minced garlic and cook for another minute, stirring constantly.
Add the ground sausage to the skillet. Cook, breaking it apart with a wooden spoon, until browned and fully cooked through, about 7-8 minutes. Drain any excess fat if necessary.
Reduce the heat to low and stir in the cream of mushroom soup, sour cream, and milk. Add the Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper. Stir until combined and heated through, about 2 minutes.
In a large bowl, combine the cooked egg noodles with the sausage mixture. Mix until the noodles are evenly coated in the sauce.
Transfer the noodle and sausage mixture to the prepared baking dish and spread it out evenly.
Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the top of the casserole.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Remove the casserole from the oven and let it cool for 5 minutes before serving. Garnish with chopped parsley, if desired.
