Ingredients

• 12 ounces egg noodles
• 1 pound ground beef
• 1 medium, diced onion
• 2 cloves, minced garlic
• 15 ounces tomato sauce
• 1 cup sour cream
• 4 ounces, softened cream cheese
• 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 teaspoon dried Italian seasoning

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

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

Step 3

In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and sauté until softened, about 3-4 minutes. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional 30 seconds.

Step 4

Add the ground beef to the skillet and cook until browned, breaking it apart with a spatula, about 5-7 minutes. Drain any excess grease.

Step 5

Stir the tomato sauce, salt, black pepper, and Italian seasoning into the cooked ground beef. Reduce the heat to low and simmer for 5 minutes.

Step 6

In a medium bowl, mix together the sour cream and cream cheese until smooth.

Step 7

Layer half of the cooked noodles at the bottom of the prepared baking dish. Spoon half of the sour cream mixture over the noodles, followed by half of the beef mixture. Repeat the layers with the remaining noodles, sour cream mixture, and beef mixture.

Step 8

Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the casserole.

Step 9

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

Step 10

Let the casserole cool for 5 minutes before serving. Enjoy!
