Directions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.

Step 2

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

Step 3

In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the flour and whisk constantly for 1-2 minutes to make a roux.

Step 4

Slowly pour in the milk while whisking continuously to prevent lumps. Cook for 3-4 minutes until thick and smooth.

Stir in the sour cream, black pepper, and garlic powder. Mix until well combined, then remove from heat.

Step 6

Dice the dried beef into small pieces and stir it into the sauce along with the bell pepper and onion.

Step 7

In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked noodles with the prepared sauce. Mix until the noodles are evenly coated.

Step 8

Transfer the noodle mixture to the prepared baking dish and spread it out evenly.

Step 9

Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese over the top of the casserole.

Step 10

Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

Step 11

Remove from the oven and let the casserole rest for 5 minutes before serving. Garnish with chopped parsley, if desired.

Step 12

Serve warm and enjoy!
