Instructions
📝 Instructions:
Step 1: Cook the Noodles
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook egg noodles according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
Step 2: Brown the Beef
In a large skillet over medium heat, cook ground beef with chopped onion until browned. Drain excess grease. Add garlic and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
Step 3: Make the Sauce
In a large mixing bowl, combine cream of mushroom soup, cream of cheddar soup, sour cream, milk, salt, pepper, paprika, and Italian seasoning. Stir until smooth.
Step 4: Assemble the Casserole
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
Add cooked noodles and beef mixture to the dish. Pour the sauce over and mix gently to combine.
Top evenly with shredded cheddar cheese.
Step 5: Bake
Bake uncovered for 25–30 minutes, or until hot and bubbly and the cheese is melted and slightly golden.
Step 6: Serve
Let the casserole rest for 5–10 minutes before serving. Enjoy warm.
