Ingredients

• 1 pound ground beef
• 1 medium, diced yellow onion
• 3 cloves, minced garlic
• 2 tablespoons sweet Hungarian paprika
• 1 14-ounce can diced tomatoes
• 2 tablespoons tomato paste
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 12 ounces egg noodles
• 1.5 cups sour cream
• 8 ounces cream cheese
• 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 tablespoons, chopped parsley

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

Step 2

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

Step 3

In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add diced onion and cook until soft, about 4-5 minutes.

Step 4

Add minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.

Step 5

Add ground beef to the skillet and brown, breaking it apart with a wooden spoon, until fully cooked. Drain off excess fat.

Step 6

Stir in the sweet Hungarian paprika, diced tomatoes with their juice, tomato paste, salt, and black pepper. Simmer for 5-7 minutes to blend flavors. Remove from heat.

Step 7

In a large mixing bowl, combine sour cream, softened cream cheese, and about 1/4 cup of the shredded cheddar cheese. Mix until smooth.

Step 8

Layer one-third of the cooked egg noodles at the bottom of a greased 9x13-inch baking dish.

Step 9

Spread half of the meat mixture over the noodles, followed by half of the cream cheese mixture.

Step 10

Repeat with another layer of noodles, the remaining meat mixture, and the remaining cream cheese mixture.

Step 11

Top with the last third of the noodles and sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the top.

Step 12

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

Step 13

Garnish with chopped parsley before serving. Serve hot and enjoy!
