Description

Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 1 lb ground beef
- 1 onion, diced
- 2 cups cooked egg noodles
- 1 can (10.75 oz) tomato soup
- 1 can (10.5 oz) cream of mushroom soup
- ½ cup milk
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- Salt and pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350 °F (175 °C) to ensure it’s ready for baking the casserole evenly.
- Cook Beef and Onion: In a skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef and diced onion together until the beef is fully browned and the onion is soft, about 5-7 minutes. Drain excess fat to keep the casserole from being greasy.
- Mix Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the cooked beef and onion mixture with the tomato soup, cream of mushroom soup, milk, and cooked egg noodles. Stir everything gently until well combined and seasoned with salt and pepper to taste.
- Assemble Casserole: Pour the mixture evenly into a greased baking dish. Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the top.
- Bake: Place the casserole in the preheated oven and bake uncovered for 30 minutes, or until the cheese topping is bubbly and golden and the casserole is heated through.
Notes
- Great make-ahead dish for busy nights; prepare in advance and refrigerate until ready to bake.
- Add peas or corn to the casserole mixture for extra color and texture.
- For a thicker sauce, reduce milk to ¼ cup or add more cheese on top.
- Leftovers can be refrigerated for up to 3 days and reheated in the oven or microwave.
