A comforting classic that’s easy to make and even easier to love—perfect for a cozy dinner tonight!

1

Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit (175 degrees Celsius).

2

In a large skillet, brown 1 pound of ground beef over medium heat for about 5 to 7 minutes. Make sure to break it apart with a spatula as it cooks.

3

Once the beef is browned, drain any excess fat and add 1 chopped onion and 2 minced garlic cloves. Cook for an additional 3 to 5 minutes until the onion becomes translucent.

4

While the beef and onions are cooking, bring a pot of salted water to a boil and cook 8 ounces of egg noodles according to package instructions, usually around 6 to 8 minutes. Drain and set aside.

5

In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked beef mixture, 1 can of cream of mushroom soup, 1/2 cup of milk, the drained egg noodles, and season with 1 teaspoon of salt and 1/2 teaspoon of pepper. Mix everything well until combined.

6

Transfer the mixture to a greased 9x13 inch casserole dish. Spread it out evenly.

7

Sprinkle 2 cups of shredded cheddar cheese on top of the mixture.

8

Bake in the preheated oven for 25 to 30 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and golden.

9

Once done, remove from the oven and let it sit for about 5 minutes before serving. Enjoy your meal!

• Add a layer of crushed potato chips on top for extra crunch.
• Experiment with different types of cheese, like mozzarella or pepper jack for a kick.
• Incorporate vegetables like peas or bell peppers into the beef mixture for added flavor and nutrition.

• Make sure to drain the fat from the beef to avoid a greasy casserole.
• Use a mix of cheeses for a more complex flavor profile.
• Let the casserole rest after baking; this helps it set and makes serving easier.
