Ingredients

• 1 pound ground beef
• 1 medium yellow onion, diced
• 2 garlic cloves, minced
• 15 ounces tomato sauce
• 1 teaspoon dried Italian seasoning
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 12 ounces egg noodles, cooked
• 1 cup sour cream
• 4 ounces cream cheese, softened
• 2 cups cheddar cheese, shredded
• 2 tablespoons butter, melted
• 2 tablespoons green onions, chopped (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x13-inch baking dish lightly with butter or cooking spray.

Step 2

In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef, diced onion, and minced garlic until the meat is browned and cooked through. Drain any excess grease.

Step 3

Stir in the tomato sauce, Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper. Let the mixture simmer on low heat for about 5 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside.

Step 4

In a large bowl, mix the sour cream, softened cream cheese, and melted butter until smooth and combined.

Step 5

Cook the egg noodles according to the package instructions until al dente. Drain and toss the noodles into the sour cream mixture until evenly coated.

Step 6

Spread half of the sour cream-coated noodles into the prepared baking dish. Layer half of the meat sauce on top, followed by 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese.

Step 7

Repeat with the remaining noodles, meat sauce, and finish with the remaining 1 cup of cheddar cheese on top.

Step 8

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

Step 9

Remove from the oven and let it cool for 5 minutes. Garnish with chopped green onions, if desired.

Serve warm and enjoy your delicious Sour Cream Casserole!
