Ingredients
  

For the Casserole
  • 1 pound ground beef the foundation of flavor, ensure it's browned for optimal richness
  • 1 small onion, chopped adds a lovely sweetness and depth; feel free to use shallots for a milder taste
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced infuse your dish with aromatic goodness; don't skip this essential flavor
  • 10.75 oz can condensed cream of mushroom soup brings creaminess; substitute with cream of chicken if preferred
  • 1 cup sour cream contributes the signature tangy richness; Greek yogurt is a great alternative
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese melts beautifully for that gooey topping; switch with mozzarella for a different flavor
  • ½ cup beef broth helps to keep the casserole moist; vegetable broth can work well too for a lighter version
  • 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce adds umami; soy sauce can be a substitute for a different twist
  • 8 oz wide egg noodles, cooked and drained these hearty noodles are ideal for holding the sauce; use gluten-free pasta if needed
  • Salt and pepper to taste seasoning is key! Adjust according to your family's preferences

Method
 

Step‑by‑Step Instructions for Sour Cream Beef Noodle Casserole
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a large skillet over medium heat, add the ground beef, breaking it apart with a wooden spoon. Cook for about 6-8 minutes, or until the beef is browned and cooked through, stirring occasionally. Drain any excess fat.
  3. Add the chopped onion and minced garlic to the skillet with the cooked beef. Sauté for about 3-4 minutes, until the onions turn soft and translucent.
  4. Stir in the condensed cream of mushroom soup, sour cream, shredded cheddar cheese, beef broth, and Worcestershire sauce. Mix well for about 2-3 minutes until combined and the cheese begins to melt.
  5. Gently fold the cooked and drained egg noodles into the creamy beef mixture. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  6. Transfer the mixture to a 9x13 inch baking dish and spread it out evenly.
  7. Place the casserole in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes until bubbly and the cheese is melted and starting to brown.
  8. Allow to cool for about 5 minutes before serving.

Notes

For best results, use fresh garlic and onion, and do not rush the browning of the meat. This will enhance the flavor of the casserole significantly.
