Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1 medium yellow onion, diced
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 15 ounces tomato sauce
- 1 teaspoon dried Italian seasoning
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 12 ounces egg noodles, cooked
- 1 cup sour cream
- 4 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 2 cups cheddar cheese, shredded
- 2 tablespoons butter, melted
- 2 tablespoons green onions, chopped (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x13-inch baking dish lightly with butter or cooking spray.
In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef, diced onion, and minced garlic until the meat is browned and cooked through. Drain any excess grease.
Stir in the tomato sauce, Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper. Let the mixture simmer on low heat for about 5 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside.
In a large bowl, mix the sour cream, softened cream cheese, and melted butter until smooth and combined.
Cook the egg noodles according to the package instructions until al dente. Drain and toss the noodles into the sour cream mixture until evenly coated.
Spread half of the sour cream-coated noodles into the prepared baking dish. Layer half of the meat sauce on top, followed by 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese.
Repeat with the remaining noodles, meat sauce, and finish with the remaining 1 cup of cheddar cheese on top.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the casserole is heated through and the cheese on top is bubbly and golden.
Remove from the oven and let it cool for 5 minutes. Garnish with chopped green onions, if desired.
Serve warm and enjoy your delicious Sour Cream Casserole!
