Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 1 lb ground beef
  • 1 medium onion, diced
  • 8 oz egg noodles
  • 1 can (10.5 oz) cream of mushroom soup
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 1 1/2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
  • 3/4 cup buttered bread crumbs
  • Salt, to taste
  • Black pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. Cook the ground beef and onions: Brown the ground beef in a large skillet over medium heat until fully cooked. Add diced onions and sauté until translucent and fragrant, releasing natural sweetness.
  2. Prepare the noodles: Boil egg noodles in salted water according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
  3. Combine the sauce ingredients: In a mixing bowl, blend together the cream of mushroom soup and sour cream until smooth and creamy.
  4. Mix everything together: In a large bowl, combine the cooked beef and onion mixture, noodles, and the creamy sauce. Stir until all ingredients are evenly coated.
  5. Assemble and add topping: Transfer the mixture to a greased baking dish. Sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese evenly on top, then finish with buttered bread crumbs for a crunchy topping.
  6. Bake to golden perfection: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake the casserole for 25-30 minutes, or until the cheese is melted, bubbly, and the bread crumbs are golden brown.

Notes

  • Use fresh onions and quality ground beef for enhanced flavor.
  • Do not overcook noodles; slightly undercook to maintain texture after baking.
  • Mix the sauce ingredients thoroughly to ensure creaminess throughout the casserole.
  • Allow the casserole to rest 5-10 minutes before serving to help it set.
  • Customize the topping by mixing parmesan with bread crumbs for an extra savory crust.
