Instructions
- Heat a large skillet to medium-high and cook 1 lb ground beef, crumbling into small pieces until no pink remains, about 8 minutes.

- Whisk 1 can cream of mushroom soup and 1 cup sour cream in a separate bowl until smooth.
- Fold cooked beef and noodles into soup mixture, stirring gently to combine.
- Transfer mixture to a casserole dish and spread 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese evenly on top.
- Melt 2 tbsp butter in a small pan and toss with ½ cup breadcrumbs until fully coated.
- Sprinkle buttered breadcrumbs over cheese layer for added crunch.
- Bake at 350°F for 25-30 minutes until golden brown and edges are bubbling.
- Allow casserole to rest 5 minutes before serving to set and cool slightly.
Notes
- Drain beef thoroughly to prevent a greasy casserole and ensure a perfect texture that doesn’t feel heavy.
- Use freshly shredded cheddar cheese for better melting and a more vibrant flavor compared to pre-shredded options.
- For a gluten-free version, swap egg noodles with gluten-free pasta and use gluten-free breadcrumbs on top.
- Make this casserole ahead and refrigerate before baking, which can enhance the flavors and make weeknight dinners easier.
