Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).

Bake in the preheated oven until casserole is bubbling, 30 to 45 minutes.

Fill a large pot with lightly salted water and bring to a rapid boil. Cook egg noodles at a boil until tender yet firm to the bite, about 5 minutes; drain.

Cook ground beef in a skillet over medium heat until no longer pink, breaking into crumbles as it cooks, about 10 minutes.
