Ingredients

• 1 pound Ground beef
• 12 ounces Egg noodles
• 1 medium Yellow onion
• 2 cloves Garlic cloves
• 14.5 ounces Canned diced tomatoes
• 8 ounces Tomato sauce
• 4 ounces Cream cheese
• 0.5 cup Sour cream
• 2 cups Shredded cheddar cheese
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 1 teaspoon Dried Italian seasoning
• 1 tablespoon Olive oil

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x13-inch casserole dish and set aside.

Step 2

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

Step 3

In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and cook for 2-3 minutes until softened. Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional 30 seconds until fragrant.

Step 4

Add the ground beef to the skillet and cook until browned, breaking it up into crumbles with a wooden spoon. Drain any excess fat if necessary.

Step 5

Stir in the diced tomatoes, tomato sauce, salt, black pepper, and Italian seasoning. Let the mixture simmer for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Step 6

In a medium mixing bowl, combine the cream cheese, sour cream, and half of the shredded cheddar cheese. Mix until smooth and well combined.

Step 7

Spread half of the cooked noodles evenly on the bottom of the prepared casserole dish. Spoon half of the cream cheese mixture over the noodles, followed by half of the meat sauce. Repeat the layers with the remaining noodles, cream cheese mixture, and meat sauce.

Step 8

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

Step 9

Cover the dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and slightly golden.

Step 10

Let the casserole cool for 5 minutes before serving. Enjoy your Hamburger Noodle Casserole!
