Directions
-
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). This step is crucial, as starting with a hot oven will ensure that your casserole cooks evenly and develops a tremendous golden crust on top.
-
Cook the egg noodles according to the package instructions; drain and set aside. Make sure to not overcook the noodles, as they will continue to soften while baking in the casserole.
-
In a large skillet, brown the ground beef and onion over medium heat until the beef is cooked through. This process helps develop flavors, while the onion adds sweetness to the mixture. Drain any excess fat to keep the dish from becoming too greasy.
-
In a large bowl, mix the cooked noodles, beef mixture, sour cream, cream of mushroom soup, shredded cheddar cheese, and beef broth. Season with salt and pepper to taste. This combination creates a tremendous explosion of flavor, so make sure to stir well until everything is evenly incorporated.
-
Transfer the mixture to a greased 9×13 inch baking dish. Spreading it out evenly will help achieve that perfect bubbly top when baked.
-
Bake in the preheated oven for about 30 minutes or until bubbly and golden on top. The anticipation will build as you smell the wonderful aromas filling your kitchen.
-
Let the casserole cool for a few minutes before serving. This resting time allows the flavors to settle and makes it easier to serve the portions.
