Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the ground beef and cook until browned, breaking it up with a spoon as it cooks. Drain any excess fat.
Stir in the chopped onion and minced garlic. Cook for another 2-3 minutes until the onion becomes translucent and fragrant.
Add the tomato sauce, diced tomatoes (with their juices), Worcestershire sauce, Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper to the skillet. Stir everything together, reduce the heat to low, and let simmer for 5 minutes.
While the meat sauce simmers, cook the egg noodles in a large pot of salted boiling water according to the package instructions, until al dente. Drain and return to the pot.
Stir the butter into the drained noodles to prevent them from sticking.
In a medium bowl, mix together the sour cream, cream cheese, and green onions until well combined and smooth.
Pour half of the noodles into the prepared baking dish. Spread half of the sour cream mixture over the noodles, followed by half of the meat sauce. Repeat the layers with the remaining noodles, sour cream mixture, and meat sauce.
Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the top.
Cover the baking dish with foil and bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes. Remove the foil and bake 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 World Famous Hamburger Casserole!
