Ingredients
- 1 pound ground beef

- 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
Instructions
1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
2. In a large skillet, cook the ground beef and onion over medium heat until the beef is browned and the onion is soft. Drain any excess fat.
3. Add the tomato soup, cream of mushroom soup, milk, salt, pepper, and garlic powder to the skillet. Stir well to combine and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.
4. Meanwhile, bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add the egg noodles and cook according to package directions until al dente. Drain well.
5. Stir the cooked noodles into the beef mixture until fully incorporated.
6. Transfer the mixture into a 9×13 inch baking dish and spread it out evenly.
7. Sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the top.
8. Bake for 25–30 minutes or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
9. Remove from oven and let rest for 10 minutes before serving.
Notes
For a spicier version, add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the beef mixture.
Substitute ground turkey for a lighter variation.
Can be made ahead and refrigerated—add 10 minutes to baking time if chilled.
Pairs well with a simple side salad or steamed veggies.
Leftovers reheat well in the microwave or oven.
