Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 lb ground beef
  • 1 medium onion, chopped (about 1 cup)
  • 1 cup egg noodles, uncooked
  • 1 can (10.5 oz) cream of mushroom soup
  • 1 cup milk
  • 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 0.5 tsp black pepper
  • 1 cup frozen peas (optional)

Equipment

  • Large skillet
  • Mixing bowl
  • casserole dish
  • Aluminum foil
  • Spoon or spatula

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a large skillet over medium heat, brown the ground beef and chopped onion until the beef is cooked and onion is soft, about 5–7 minutes. Drain any excess grease.
  3. In a mixing bowl, combine the cream of mushroom soup, milk, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Stir until well mixed.
  4. Add the uncooked egg noodles and cream mixture to the skillet with the beef and onions. Add peas if using. Stir until evenly combined.
  5. Transfer the mixture to a greased casserole dish and spread evenly.
  6. Cover with aluminum foil and bake for 25 minutes.
  7. Remove foil and sprinkle cheddar cheese on top. Bake uncovered for an additional 5 minutes until cheese is melted and bubbly.
  8. Allow casserole to rest for 5 minutes before serving.

Notes

For extra flavor, try adding sautéed mushrooms or a pinch of paprika. You can substitute cream of chicken soup for mushroom if preferred. This casserole also freezes well — just cool completely before storing.
