Ingredients

• 12 oz egg noodles
• 1 lb ground beef (85% lean)
• 1 medium yellow onion, diced
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• 14.5 oz diced tomatoes
• 8 oz tomato sauce
• 1 cup sour cream
• 4 oz cream cheese, softened
• 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
• 1 tbsp olive oil
• 1 tsp dried Italian seasoning
• 1 tsp salt
• 0.5 tsp black pepper
• 2 tbsp chopped parsley, for garnish

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

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

Step 3

In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the ground beef and cook, breaking it apart with a wooden spoon, until browned, about 5-7 minutes.

Step 4

Add the diced onion to the beef and cook for 3-4 minutes, until softened. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1 minute, until fragrant.

Step 5

Add the diced tomatoes, tomato sauce, Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper to the skillet. Stir well and simmer for 5 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld. Remove from heat.

Step 6

In a medium bowl, combine the sour cream and softened cream cheese. Stir until smooth and creamy.

Step 7

Add the cooked egg noodles to the tomato-beef mixture and stir until evenly coated.

Step 8

Layer half of the noodle mixture into the prepared baking dish. Spread the sour cream mixture over the noodles, then top with the remaining noodle mixture.

Step 9

Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the top.

Step 10

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

Step 11

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