Main ingredients

  • 1 lb ground beef Use lean ground beef to reduce excess fat.
  • 1 can cream of mushroom soup Can be substituted with cream of chicken soup or a homemade white sauce.
  • 2 cups cooked egg noodles You can use uncooked noodles but increase baking time and add water.
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese Variations can include mozzarella or pepper jack cheese.

Instructions
 

Preparation

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
  • In a skillet, brown the ground beef over medium heat until no longer pink. Drain excess fat.
  • Stir in the cream of mushroom soup and cooked egg noodles until well combined.
  • Transfer the mixture to a greased casserole dish and top with shredded cheddar cheese.

Baking

  • Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and golden brown.

Notes

Best served warm. Pair with a simple side salad or steamed vegetables. For added flavor, sprinkle fresh herbs like parsley on top. Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days or frozen for 2-3 months.
