Description
Cheesy Beef Noodle Casserole is a comforting dish that combines ground beef, egg noodles, and creamy sauce, topped with crispy French onions for added flavor and texture.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound ground beef
- 8 ounces egg noodles
- 1 can (10.5 ounces) cream of mushroom soup
- 1 cup sour cream
- 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 ½ cups crispy French onions
- ½ teaspoon onion powder
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 cup frozen peas (optional)
- Diced bell pepper (optional)
- Mushrooms (optional)
Instructions
- Set the oven temperature to 350°F.
- Boil egg noodles in salted water until just tender, about one minute less than the package directs. Drain and set aside.
- In a large skillet over medium-high heat, cook ground beef until fully browned. Drain excess fat from the pan.
- Incorporate onion powder, garlic powder, salt, and pepper into the cooked beef, stirring until evenly distributed.
- In a spacious mixing bowl, blend the seasoned beef, cooked noodles, cream of mushroom soup, sour cream, and 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese until thoroughly combined.
- Transfer the mixture into a greased 9×13-inch casserole dish, spreading evenly. Sprinkle the remaining 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese on top.
- Place the dish in the oven and bake for 20 minutes until heated through and bubbling.
- Remove the casserole from the oven and evenly distribute 1 ½ cups crispy French onions over the surface. Return to the oven for an additional 5 to 7 minutes until onions are golden and crisp.
- Allow the casserole to rest for 5 minutes to set before portioning and serving.
Notes
- For added flavor, you can include vegetables such as peas, bell peppers, or mushrooms.
- Ensure not to overcook the egg noodles, as they will continue to cook while baking.
- This dish can be made in advance and reheated before serving.
