Cheesy Beef Noodle Casserole

Ingredients

• 1 lb lean ground beef
• 1 medium yellow onion (diced)
• 12 oz wide egg noodles
• 8 ounces mild cheddar cheese, (grated)
• 1 can tomato sauce (15 oz)
• 1 can cream of mushroom soup (10.5 oz)
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 1/2 tsp pepper
• 1/2 tsp minced garlic

Instructions

1. 1

   Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

2. 2

   On the stovetop, place the egg noodles in a large pot of generously salted, boiling water. Remove from heat just before the pasta is al dente. Drain in a colander.

3. 3

   While the egg noodles are cooking, brown the ground beef over medium heat. As the beef begins to brown, add the diced onion, salt, pepper and garlic and cook until the beef is brown and the onions are translucent. Drain and set aside.

4. 4

   In a large mixing bowl, mix together tomato sauce and mushroom soup. Set aside.

5. 5

   Spray the bottom of a 2.5-3qt casserole dish with non stick cooking spray. Cover the bottom of the dish with half the noodles, then top with half the ground beef. Pour half the sauce over the beef. Then sprinkle on with half the grated cheese. Repeat.

6. 6

   Bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes or until the edges are bubbly.

7. 7

   Remove from oven and let sit for 5 minutes before serving.
