This Beef and Cream Cheese Casserole is comfort in a dish—rich, creamy, and packed with flavor, it's perfect for a cozy dinner tonight!

1

Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit (175 degrees Celsius). This will ensure your casserole bakes evenly.

2

In a large skillet, heat a little oil over medium heat and add the ground beef. Cook for about 5 to 7 minutes, breaking it apart with a spatula until it's browned.

3

While the beef is cooking, chop the onion and mince the garlic. Add these to the skillet with the beef for the last 2 to 3 minutes of cooking, allowing them to soften slightly.

4

In a separate bowl, mix together the cream cheese and the can of cream of mushroom soup until smooth. This will create a creamy base for your casserole.

5

Once the beef and onion mixture is cooked, combine it with the cream cheese mixture, adding in your salt and pepper to taste.

6

In a greased casserole dish, layer the cooked noodles at the bottom, then pour the beef mixture over them. Spread it evenly.

7

Finally, sprinkle the shredded cheese on top to create a delicious gooey layer.

8

Cover the casserole with foil and bake in the preheated oven for about 30 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 10 to 15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

9

Let it sit for a few minutes before serving. This will allow the casserole to set up a bit more.

• Add vegetables such as spinach or bell peppers into the beef mixture for added nutrition and flavor.
• Top with crispy fried onions or crushed potato chips before the final bake for a crunchy texture.
• Experiment with different types of cheese like mozzarella or pepper jack for a flavor twist.

• For an extra creamy texture, use full-fat cream cheese.
• Make it ahead of time and refrigerate until you're ready to bake it for an easy weeknight meal.
• Taste your mixture before baking and adjust the seasonings as needed to suit your preference.
