Ingredients

• 1 pound ground beef
• 1 medium yellow onion, diced
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 tablespoon chili powder
• 2 teaspoons cumin
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 14 ounces crushed tomatoes
• 15 ounces kidney beans, drained and rinsed
• 12 ounces dry egg noodles
• 2 cups cheddar cheese, shredded
• 1.5 cups beef broth
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 2 tablespoons parsley, chopped (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

Cook the egg noodles in a large pot of boiling salted water according to package instructions. Drain and set aside.

Step 3

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

Step 4

Add the diced onion and minced garlic to the skillet with the ground beef. Cook for 2-3 minutes until the onion is softened and fragrant.

Step 5

Stir in the chili powder, cumin, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to evenly coat the beef mixture with the spices.

Step 6

Pour in the crushed tomatoes and beef broth, and stir well. Bring the mixture to a simmer.

Step 7

Add the kidney beans to the skillet. Simmer the chili mixture on low heat for 10 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together.

Step 8

In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked egg noodles with the chili mixture. Mix until everything is evenly distributed.

Step 9

Transfer the noodle and chili mixture to a 9x13-inch casserole dish. Spread it out evenly.

Step 10

Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese over the top of the casserole.

Step 11

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

Step 12

Remove the casserole from the oven and let it cool for 5 minutes before serving.

Step 13

Garnish with chopped parsley, if desired, and serve warm.
