Ingredients

Scale
  • 8 ounces egg noodles (uncooked)
  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 1 medium onion, chopped
  • 1 can (10.5 oz) cream of mushroom soup
  • 2 cups sour cream
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1/2 cup water or beef broth
  • 1/4 cup breadcrumbs (optional topping)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit. Lightly grease a 9×13 inch baking dish.
  2. Cook the egg noodles according to package directions until they are tender but still slightly firm. Drain them well and set aside.
  3. In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef and chopped onion until the beef is fully browned. Drain off any excess grease.
  4. Stir the cooked beef and onion mixture into a large bowl with the drained noodles.
  5. Add the cream of mushroom soup, sour cream, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, salt, and pepper to the noodle and beef mixture. Mix everything gently until it is fully combined and creamy. If the mixture seems too thick, add the water or beef broth.
  6. Spread the mixture evenly into your prepared baking dish.
  7. Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese over the top of the casserole. If you want a crispier top, sprinkle the breadcrumbs over the cheese.
  8. Bake for 25 to 30 minutes, or until the casserole is hot throughout and the cheese is melted and lightly golden.
  9. Let the casserole rest for 5 minutes before you serve it.

Notes

  • For a tangier flavor, substitute half of the sour cream with plain Greek yogurt.
  • You can prepare this entire casserole, cover it, and refrigerate it for up to 24 hours before baking. Add 10 minutes to the baking time if cooking directly from the refrigerator.
  • Use cream of celery soup instead of cream of mushroom soup for a slightly different flavor profile in this creamy ground beef recipes classic.
