Classic Hamburger Casserole Recipe

Ingredients

• 1 pound ground beef
• 2 (15 ounce) cans tomato sauce
• 1 teaspoon white sugar
• 1 teaspoon garlic salt
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 (8 ounce) package egg noodles
• 1 cup sour cream
• 3 ounces cream cheese, softened
• 1 large white onion, diced
• 0.5 cup shredded sharp Cheddar cheese, or more to taste

Instructions

1. In a large skillet over medium-high heat, brown the ground beef, breaking it apart as it cooks, for 5-7 minutes. Drain off any excess grease.
2. Stir in the tomato sauce, sugar, garlic salt, and salt. Reduce heat and simmer for about 20 minutes to let the flavors meld. Remove from heat and keep covered.
3. While the sauce simmers, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the egg noodles and cook for 7-9 minutes, or until al dente. Drain the noodles well.
4. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a 9x13-inch casserole dish to prevent sticking.
5. In a mixing bowl, combine the sour cream, cream cheese, and chopped onion until well blended.
6. Layer half of the cooked egg noodles in the prepared casserole dish. Spread half of the sour cream mixture over the noodles, followed by half of the ground beef mixture. Repeat these layers. Sprinkle the shredded Cheddar cheese evenly over the top.
7. Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the cheese is melted, bubbly, and lightly golden brown.
