Ingredients

Scale
  • 8 ounces egg noodles (uncooked)
  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 1 medium onion, chopped
  • 1 can cream of mushroom soup (10.5 oz)
  • 2 cups sour cream
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • 1 cup breadcrumbs (optional, for 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. Drain them well and set them aside.
  3. While the noodles cook, brown the ground beef and chopped onion in a large skillet over medium heat. Drain off any excess grease.
  4. Stir the cream of mushroom soup, sour cream, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, salt, and pepper into the beef mixture. Heat this mixture gently until it is warm and combined. Do not boil.
  5. Fold the cooked, drained egg noodles into the beef and sour cream sauce until everything is evenly coated.
  6. Transfer the noodle and beef mixture into the prepared baking dish.
  7. Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the top of the casserole. If you are using breadcrumbs, mix them with a tablespoon of melted butter and sprinkle them over the cheese.
  8. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes, or until the casserole is hot throughout and the cheese is melted and lightly browned.
  9. Let the casserole rest for 5 minutes before you serve it.

Notes

  • You can prepare the entire casserole, cover it, and refrigerate it for up to 24 hours before baking. Add about 10 minutes to the baking time if cooking straight from the refrigerator.
  • For a tangier flavor, substitute half of the sour cream with plain Greek yogurt.
  • Use any type of condensed cream soup you prefer, such as cream of chicken, if cream of mushroom is unavailable.
