Ingredients
  

Main ingredients
  • 1 lb ground beef 80/20 is a good balance of flavor and juiciness; leaner is okay but may be drier.
  • 8 oz egg noodles Large or medium.
  • 1 onion, chopped Yellow or sweet.
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 can cream of mushroom soup (10.5–11 oz) Can swap for cream of celery or cream of chicken.
  • 1 cup beef broth Low-sodium if you want to control salt.
  • 1 cup shredded cheese Cheddar or a blend.
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 tsp paprika
  • Chopped parsley for garnish Optional.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x13-inch or similar baking dish.
  2. Cook the egg noodles according to package directions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
Cooking
  1. Heat a large skillet over medium. Add the ground beef and cook, breaking it up, until browned. Drain excess fat if needed.
  2. Add the chopped onion and minced garlic to the skillet. Cook for 3–5 minutes until the onion is translucent and fragrant.
  3. Stir in the cream of mushroom soup and beef broth. Add paprika, salt, and pepper; combine until smooth and heated through.
  4. Fold the cooked noodles into the beef mixture so they’re evenly coated. Taste and adjust seasoning.
  5. Transfer everything to the prepared baking dish. Sprinkle the shredded cheese over the top in an even layer.
  6. Bake for 25–30 minutes, until the casserole is bubbly and the cheese has melted and lightly browned.
  7. Let rest for 5 minutes, then garnish with chopped parsley if you like. Serve hot.

Notes

For a creamier texture, stir 1/4–1/2 cup sour cream or cream cheese into the soup mixture before folding in the noodles. For a crispier top, switch the oven to broil for the last 1–2 minutes watching closely to avoid burning.
