Old-Fashioned Ground Beef Casserole with Egg Noodles: A Creamy, Cheesy Comfort Food Classic (Page 4 ) | November 24, 2025

Now the fun part—layering!

    • Start with half the noodles on the bottom of your casserole dish.
    • Spread half the creamy mixture over the noodles.
    • Add half the beef and tomato sauce, smoothing it evenly.
    • Repeat the layers with the rest of the noodles, creamy mixture, and beef sauce.

Top it all off with a generous handful of shredded cheddar cheese. If you’re anything like me, you’ll probably sprinkle on a little extra.

6. Bake to Perfection

  • Slide your casserole into the oven and bake for 25 minutes, or until it’s bubbling at the edges and the cheese on top is melted and golden.

The smell alone will have your neighbors knocking.

7. Cool Slightly, Then Serve Warm

Give your casserole just a few minutes to rest before serving—it helps everything settle and slice beautifully.

Serve it warm, maybe with a side of garlic bread or a crisp green salad. Or just scoop it onto a plate and savor the creamy, beefy, cheesy goodness.
