Main Ingredients
- 1 lb ground beef
- 8 oz egg noodles
- 1 can (10.5 oz) cream of mushroom soup
- 1 cup sour cream
- 2 cups shredded sharp cheddar cheese
- 1 medium diced onion
- 2 tablespoons butter
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Prepare the Noodles: Cook the egg noodles in salted boiling water according to package directions until al dente. Drain and set aside to cool slightly.
- Cook the Beef and Onions: In a large skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Sauté the diced onions until translucent, then add ground beef. Cook thoroughly, breaking up the beef into crumbles as it browns. Season with salt and pepper. Drain excess fat to avoid greasiness.
- Combine Creamy Ingredients: In a mixing bowl, blend the cream of mushroom soup and sour cream until smooth, creating the casserole’s creamy base.
- Mix Everything Together: Combine the cooked noodles, sautéed beef and onions, and creamy soup mixture in a large bowl. Stir well until all ingredients are evenly coated.
- Assemble and Bake: Transfer the mixture to a greased casserole dish. Evenly sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese on top. Bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 30 minutes, or until cheese is bubbly and golden.
Notes
- Don’t overcook noodles; keep them slightly firm before baking to prevent a mushy casserole.
- Drain excess fat after cooking beef for a less greasy texture.
- Use sharp cheddar cheese for better flavor and meltability.
- Let the casserole rest 5-10 minutes before serving to help it set.
- For a crunchy topping, mix breadcrumbs with melted butter and sprinkle on top before baking.
