Ingredients
  

  • 1 lb ground beef
  • 1 can diced tomatoes 14.5 oz, with juice
  • 1 can Rotel diced tomatoes and green chilies 10 oz, with juice
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper
  • 1/4 tsp onion powder
  • 1/4 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 can tomato paste 6 oz
  • 1 package medium egg noodles 6 oz
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese

Instructions
 

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly spray a 9×13-inch baking dish with cooking spray and set it aside.
  • In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef until browned, breaking it into crumbles. Verify it reaches 160°F (71°C) with a food thermometer, then drain excess fat.
  • Stir in the diced tomatoes with juice, Rotel diced tomatoes and green chilies with juice, salt, black pepper, onion powder, garlic powder, and tomato paste. Mix well to combine.
  • Reduce the heat to low and let the sauce simmer for 20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the flavors meld together and the sauce thickens slightly.
  • Meanwhile, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the medium egg noodles and cook according to package directions until al dente. Drain the noodles well and transfer them to a large mixing bowl.
  • Add the sour cream to the hot noodles and stir until the noodles are evenly coated.
  • Spread the sour cream-coated noodles evenly across the bottom of the prepared baking dish. Spoon the meat sauce over the noodles, spreading it out with a spatula to ensure it’s evenly distributed.
  • In a small bowl, mix together the shredded cheddar cheese, grated Parmesan cheese, and shredded mozzarella cheese. Sprinkle the cheese mixture evenly over the top of the meat sauce.
  • Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake for 35 minutes, or until the casserole is hot and bubbly. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 5-10 minutes to allow the cheese to melt completely and turn golden brown.
  • Remove the casserole from the oven and let it rest for about 5 minutes before serving. Serve hot with garlic bread, a fresh green salad, or steamed vegetables.

Notes

For an extra layer of flavor, add a pinch of red pepper flakes or a splash of Worcestershire sauce to the meat sauce while it simmers.
