Equipment

  • Large skillet

Method
 

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish with cooking spray.
  2. In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add ground beef, onion, and green bell pepper. Cook 7-10 minutes until beef is browned and vegetables softened. Add garlic and cook 1 minute more. Drain excess fat.
  3. In a large bowl, combine the beef mixture with cream of mushroom soup, cream of chicken soup, diced tomatoes with chilies, sour cream, chili powder, cumin, salt, and pepper. Mix well.
  4. Add cooked egg noodles and stir until evenly coated.
  5. Transfer to the prepared baking dish. Sprinkle cheddar and mozzarella cheese evenly on top.
  6. Bake 25-30 minutes, until bubbly and cheese is melted and golden.
  7. Garnish with fresh parsley if desired. Serve hot.

Notes

You can make this ahead by assembling the casserole, covering, and refrigerating for up to 24 hours before baking. For a lighter option, substitute ground turkey or chicken. Leftovers reheat well in the oven or microwave.
