Ingredients

• 12 oz egg noodles
• 1 lb ground beef
• 1 medium yellow onion, diced
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 15 oz tomato sauce
• 14.5 oz diced tomatoes, drained
• 2 tbsp ketchup
• 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
• 1 tsp salt
• 0.5 tsp black pepper
• 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
• 0.5 cup milk
• 2 tbsp butter, melted
• 1 tbsp dried parsley (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 9x13-inch casserole dish and set aside.

Step 2

Cook the egg noodles according to the package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.

Step 3

In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef until browned, about 5-7 minutes. Drain excess fat.

Step 4

Add the diced onion to the skillet with the ground beef and sauté until soft, about 3-4 minutes. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1 minute.

Step 5

Stir in the tomato sauce, diced tomatoes, ketchup, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and black pepper. Bring the mixture to a simmer and let it cook for 5 minutes to blend the flavors.

Step 6

In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked egg noodles, meat sauce mixture, 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese, milk, and melted butter. Mix until well incorporated.

Step 7

Pour the mixture into the prepared casserole dish, spreading it out evenly.

Step 8

Sprinkle the remaining 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the top.

Step 9

Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

Step 10

Remove from the oven and let the casserole cool slightly for 5 minutes. Garnish with dried parsley, if desired, before serving.
