  • 1 can cream of mushroom soup (approximately 10.5 ounces)
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to prepare for baking the casserole later.
  2. Cook Noodles: Boil the egg noodles according to the package instructions until al dente, then drain and set aside.
  3. Brown Beef and Onions: In a skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef along with the chopped onions until the beef is fully browned and the onions are softened.
  4. Add Seasonings and Sauces: Stir in the cream of mushroom soup, sour cream, garlic powder, salt, and pepper to the beef and onion mixture, combining thoroughly.
  5. Combine Noodles: Add the cooked noodles to the beef mixture and stir until everything is evenly incorporated.
  6. Assemble Casserole: Transfer the beef and noodle mixture into a baking dish, then sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the top.
  7. Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the cheese is melted, bubbly, and slightly golden on top.

Notes

  • For extra flavor, try adding a teaspoon of Worcestershire sauce to the beef mixture.
  • You can substitute cream of mushroom soup with cream of celery or cream of chicken soup if desired.
  • Use sharp cheddar cheese for a more pronounced cheesy flavor.
  • Leftovers keep well in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and can be reheated in the oven or microwave.
