Instructions

Step-by-Step Instructions for Sour Cream Beef Noodle Casserole

Follow these easy steps to make the perfect Sour Cream Beef Noodle Casserole:

Prepare the Noodles and Beef:

  1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish with a little oil or non-stick cooking spray.
  2. Cook the Noodles: Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the egg noodles and cook according to the package instructions, usually about 7-8 minutes, until al dente. Drain the noodles and set them aside.
  3. Cook the Ground Beef: In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and minced garlic. Sauté for about 3-4 minutes, until the onion is softened and fragrant.
  4. Brown the Beef: Add the ground beef to the skillet with the onions and garlic. Break the beef apart with a spoon and cook for 5-7 minutes, or until the beef is browned and fully cooked. Drain any excess fat.

Make the Creamy Sauce:

  1. Prepare the Sauce: To the cooked beef mixture, add the sour cream, cream of mushroom soup, beef broth, oregano, parsley, salt, and pepper. Stir to combine and create a smooth, creamy sauce.
  2. Add the Cheese: Stir in 3/4 cup of shredded cheddar cheese (reserve the remaining 1/4 cup for topping). Mix until the cheese is melted and incorporated into the sauce.

Assemble the Casserole:

  1. Combine the Noodles and Sauce: Add the cooked egg noodles to the beef and sauce mixture. Stir gently to ensure the noodles are evenly coated in the creamy sauce.
  2. Transfer to Baking Dish: Pour the beef and noodle mixture into the prepared baking dish. Spread it out evenly with a spatula.
  3. Top with Cheese: Sprinkle the remaining 1/4 cup of shredded cheddar cheese over the top of the casserole. If desired, sprinkle with grated Parmesan cheese for extra flavor.

Bake the Casserole:

  1. Bake: Place the casserole in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the top is golden and bubbly.
  2. Cool and Serve: Remove the casserole from the oven and let it cool for 5-10 minutes before serving. This allows the sauce to thicken slightly and makes it easier to slice.
