Ingredients
For the Casserole:
1 lb ground beef
12 oz egg noodles
1 cup sour cream
1 can (10.5 oz) cream of mushroom soup
1/2 cup beef broth
1 medium onion, finely chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 1/2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1/2 teaspoon paprika
1 cup sliced mushrooms
Instructions
-
Preheat and Prepare the Baking Dish: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×13-inch casserole dish with cooking spray or butter and set aside.
-
Brown the Ground Beef: In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef until browned, breaking it apart into small crumbles. Drain any excess fat and transfer the beef to a plate.
-
Sauté the Vegetables: In the same skillet, sauté the chopped onions and minced garlic for 2-3 minutes until softened. Add the sliced mushrooms and cook for an additional 4-5 minutes until the mushrooms are tender.
-
Prepare the Sauce: Stir in the cream of mushroom soup, sour cream, and beef broth, mixing until smooth and creamy. Season with salt, pepper, and paprika, and simmer for a few minutes.
-
Combine Everything: Add the cooked ground beef back into the skillet and stir in the cooked pasta. Ensure everything is well coated in the creamy sauce.
-
Assemble the Casserole: Transfer the beef and pasta mixture into the prepared casserole dish. Top with shredded cheddar cheese and grated Parmesan cheese.
-
Bake: Place the casserole in the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes or until the cheese is melted and golden brown. For a crispier crust, broil for an additional 2-3 minutes.
-
Serve: Let the casserole sit for 5 minutes before serving. Garnish with fresh herbs if desired.
Notes
For a spicier version, add red pepper flakes, chopped jalapeños, or hot sauce to the beef mixture.
You can substitute the egg noodles with rotini, penne, or another pasta of your choice.
For a lighter version, swap the ground beef with ground turkey or chicken.
