Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb ground beef (80/20 lean-to-fat ratio)
  • 8 oz egg noodles
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 1 can (10.5 oz) cream of mushroom soup
  • 2 tbsp tomato paste
  • 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese (optional)
  • 1 small onion, diced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
  • 1/2 cup beef broth
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 tsp paprika (optional)
  • 1/2 cup diced bell peppers or mushrooms (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
  2. Cook the egg noodles according to package directions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
  3. In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add ground beef and cook until browned, breaking it apart as it cooks.
  4. Add diced onion and minced garlic to the beef and cook for 2–3 minutes until fragrant.
  5. Drain any excess fat, then stir in tomato paste, Worcestershire sauce, salt, pepper, and paprika.
  6. In a large bowl, combine the beef mixture, cream of mushroom soup, sour cream, and beef broth. Mix until smooth.
  7. Fold in the cooked noodles until evenly coated with the creamy sauce.
  8. Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking dish. Top with cheddar, mozzarella, and Parmesan cheese.
  9. Bake uncovered for 25–30 minutes, or until bubbly and golden brown on top.
  10. Remove from oven and let rest for 5–10 minutes before serving for best texture.

Notes

  • Undercook noodles slightly before baking to prevent them from turning mushy.
  • You can prepare this casserole a day in advance and refrigerate before baking.
  • For extra creaminess, add a splash of heavy cream or extra sour cream to the mixture.
  • To freeze, assemble but don’t bake. Cover tightly and freeze up to 3 months.
