Ingredients
Scale
Pasta
- 8 ounces egg noodles
Beef Mixture
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1 medium onion, chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
- 1 cup low-sodium beef broth
- 1 cup sour cream
- 1 (10.5 oz) can condensed cream of mushroom soup
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
Toppings and Garnish
- 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese, divided
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
- Preheat Oven and Cook Noodles: Preheat your oven to 350°F (177°C). Cook the egg noodles according to the package instructions until they are al dente. Drain the noodles well and set aside.
- Brown Beef and Sauté Vegetables: In a large skillet over medium heat, brown the ground beef until no longer pink. Drain any excess grease. Add the chopped onion and cook until softened, about 3-4 minutes. Stir in the minced garlic, salt, and pepper and cook for an additional minute.
- Make Sauce: Pour in the low-sodium beef broth, sour cream, condensed cream of mushroom soup, and Worcestershire sauce. Stir to combine and let the mixture simmer for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally until it slightly thickens.
- Combine with Noodles: Transfer the cooked egg noodles to the skillet or a large bowl and mix well with the beef and sauce mixture until evenly combined.
- Assemble Casserole: Grease a 9×13 inch baking dish. Layer half of the noodle and beef mixture in the dish, then sprinkle 1 cup of shredded mozzarella cheese on top. Add the remaining noodle mixture and finish by topping with the remaining mozzarella cheese.
- Bake: Place the casserole in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the cheese is melted, bubbly, and golden on top.
- Serve: Remove the casserole from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes. Garnish with fresh chopped parsley before serving.
Notes
- You can substitute ground beef with ground turkey or chicken for a leaner option.
- If you prefer a thicker sauce, let the mixture simmer a few minutes longer before combining with noodles.
- Use reduced-fat sour cream and cheese to lower fat content if desired.
- Fresh mushrooms can be added along with onion for extra flavor.
- Leftovers keep well refrigerated for up to 3 days and can be reheated in the oven or microwave.
