Scale
  1. 1 lb ground beef

  4. 8 oz egg noodles, cooked and drained
  5. 1 cup sour cream
  6. 1 can (10.5 oz) cream of mushroom soup
  7. 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese

Instructions

  • Preheat the Oven:
    Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.

  • Cook the Ground Beef:
    In a large skillet, brown the ground beef over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and cook until softened, about 5 minutes. Drain any excess fat.

  • Season the Beef:
    Stir in the taco seasoning, following the packet instructions to thicken the mixture.

  • Prepare the Noodles:
    In a medium bowl, combine the cooked egg noodles, sour cream, and cream of mushroom soup until the noodles are well coated.

  • Assemble the Casserole:
    Spread the noodle mixture evenly in the greased baking dish. Layer the seasoned beef on top.

  • Add Cheese:
    Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese over the beef layer.

  • Bake:
    Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

  • Serve:
    Allow the casserole to cool for a few minutes before serving.

  • If you like a bit of spice, you can add a can of diced green chilies or some chopped jalapeños to the beef mixture.
