Ingredients

• 1 pound ground beef
• 12 ounces egg noodles
• 1 cup diced onion
• 2 garlic cloves, minced
• 15 ounces tomato sauce
• 8 ounces cream cheese
• 1 cup sour cream
• 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 teaspoon dried oregano

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

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

Step 3

In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and cook for 3-4 minutes until softened. Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1 minute.

Step 4

Add the ground beef to the skillet and cook, breaking it up with a spoon, until it is browned and fully cooked. Drain any excess fat.

Step 5

Stir in the tomato sauce, salt, black pepper, and dried oregano. Simmer the mixture for 5 minutes, then remove from heat.

Step 6

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

Step 7

In a large casserole dish (9x13 inches), spread half of the cooked egg noodles in an even layer. Top with half of the beef and tomato sauce mixture, followed by half of the cream cheese mixture. Repeat the layers with the remaining ingredients.

Step 8

Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the top.

Step 9

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

Step 10

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