Ingredients:
How to Make Ground Beef Casserole:
- Cook the Beef: Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the ground beef and cook until browned and crumbly. Drain any excess grease. Stir in the garlic salt, salt, white sugar, and tomato sauce. Mix until well combined, then reduce the heat to low and let it simmer for about 20 minutes. Remove the skillet from heat and cover it.
- Cook the Noodles: In a large pot, bring salted water to a boil. Cook the egg noodles according to package directions until they are al dente. Drain the noodles and rinse them with cold water to stop the cooking process.
- Prep Oven & Dish: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×13-inch casserole dish with cooking spray.
- Make Creamy Mixture: In a mixing bowl, combine the diced onion, sour cream, and cream cheese until the mixture is smooth.
- Layer the Casserole: Place half of the cooked egg noodles in the bottom of the prepared casserole dish. Top this layer with half of the sour cream mixture, spreading it evenly. Then, spoon half of the beef mixture over that. Repeat the layers with the remaining ingredients.
- Bake: Sprinkle the top generously with the shredded Cheddar cheese. Bake in the preheated oven for about 25 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
- Serve: Remove from the oven, serve warm, and enjoy every bite!
