Step 1

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

Add the ground beef to the skillet and cook until browned, breaking it up with a wooden spoon. Drain any excess grease.

Step 6

Stir in the taco seasoning, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to evenly coat the beef.

Add the canned diced tomatoes (with their liquid), tomato sauce, black beans, and frozen corn to the skillet. Stir to combine and let simmer for 5 minutes.

In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked egg noodles, the beef mixture, and sour cream. Stir until everything is evenly incorporated.

Transfer the mixture to the prepared casserole dish. Spread it out evenly.
