Ingredients
Scale
Meat:
- 1 pound ground beef
Vegetables:
- 1 medium onion, diced
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon paprika
Dairy and Sauce:
- 2 cups cooked egg noodles
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1/2 cup sour cream
- 1 can (15 ounces / 425 grams) tomato sauce
- Salt to taste
- Pepper to taste
Instructions
- Sauté ground beef with diced onions in a large skillet over medium-high heat until meat turns completely brown and onions become translucent, approximately 7-8 minutes.
- Carefully drain accumulated fat from the skillet, ensuring no excess grease remains.
- Season the beef mixture with garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper, then pour in tomato sauce, stirring thoroughly to combine all ingredients.
- Reduce heat and allow the mixture to simmer gently for 5 minutes, letting flavors meld together.
- Incorporate cooked noodles and sour cream into the beef mixture, gently folding until evenly distributed.
- Transfer the entire mixture to a greased baking dish, spreading it uniformly across the surface.
- Generously sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese over the top, covering the entire casserole.
- Place in a preheated oven at 350°F and bake for 20-25 minutes, watching for the cheese to melt completely and develop a golden, bubbly texture.
- Remove from oven and allow the casserole to rest for 3-4 minutes before serving to help set the ingredients.
Notes
- Use ground turkey or chicken for a lighter version with lower fat content.
- Replace regular noodles with gluten-free pasta or zucchini noodles to accommodate dietary restrictions.
