Description
A hearty, comforting casserole featuring ground beef, mushrooms, and egg noodles coated in a rich, creamy sauce, baked until golden brown.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb ground beef
- 8 oz mushrooms, sliced
- 1 onion, diced
- 3 garlic cloves, minced
- 3 cups egg noodles
- 1 can cream of mushroom soup
- 1 cup sour cream
- ½ cup beef broth
- 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
- 1 tsp smoked paprika
- Salt & pepper to taste
- 1 ½ cups shredded cheese (mozzarella or cheddar)
Instructions
- Cook egg noodles according to package directions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
- Brown the ground beef in a skillet over medium heat. Drain off any excess fat.
- Add the diced onion, sliced mushrooms, and minced garlic to the skillet with the beef. Cook until the vegetables are tender.
- Stir in the Worcestershire sauce, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper into the beef and vegetable mixture.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the cream of mushroom soup, sour cream, and beef broth until smooth.
- Combine the cooked noodles, the beef mixture, and the creamy sauce in the skillet or a large bowl. Mix well. Stir in half of the shredded cheese.
- Transfer the entire mixture to a baking dish. Top evenly with the remaining shredded cheese.
- Bake for 25 minutes at 350°F (175°C), or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
- Let the casserole rest for 5 minutes before you serve it.
Notes
- For deeper mushroom flavor, brown the mushrooms well before adding the onion and garlic.
- You can substitute dried egg noodles with 10 ounces of wide egg noodles if preferred.
- If the casserole seems too thick, add a splash more beef broth when mixing the sauce.
