Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook the egg noodles according to the package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.

Add the ground beef to the skillet and cook until browned, breaking it into small crumbles with a spoon. Drain any excess fat if needed.

Step 6

Stir in the canned diced tomatoes, tomato paste, beef broth, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Let the mixture simmer for 10 minutes, allowing flavors to meld together.

Step 7

Reduce the heat to low and stir in the sour cream until it is fully incorporated into the sauce.

Step 8

Add the cooked egg noodles to the skillet and toss until everything is well combined.

Step 9

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

Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese and mozzarella cheese evenly over the top of the casserole.
