Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 1 Pound Ground Beef
- 1 Onion, diced
- 1¼ Cup Milk
- 1 Can (10 ounce) Cream of Mushroom Soup
- 1 teaspoon Garlic Salt
- 1 teaspoon Onion Powder
- 1 teaspoon Pepper
- 1 Cup Egg Noodles, uncooked
- 1 Cup Frozen Peas
- 2 Cups Cheddar Cheese, shredded
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat the oven to 350℉ (175℃). Spray a 9×13 inch baking dish with non-stick cooking spray and set aside to prepare for the casserole.
- Cook Beef and Onions: In a large pan over medium to high heat, add the ground beef and diced onion. Cook until the ground beef is fully browned and the onions are softened. Drain excess grease from the pan.
- Prepare Sauce Mixture: In a medium-sized bowl, combine the milk, cream of mushroom soup, garlic salt, onion powder, and pepper. Stir thoroughly until the mixture is fully blended and smooth.
- Combine Ingredients: Pour the milk and soup mixture into the pan with the cooked beef and onions. Add the uncooked egg noodles and frozen peas, then stir everything together until evenly mixed.
- Assemble Casserole: Transfer the combined mixture into the prepared baking dish, spreading it out evenly to ensure even cooking.
- Bake Covered: Cover the baking dish tightly with foil and bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes to allow the noodles to cook and flavors to meld.
- Add Cheese and Bake Uncovered: Carefully remove the casserole from the oven, remove the foil, and evenly sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese over the top. Return the casserole to the oven, uncovered, and bake for an additional 5 to 8 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
- Serve: Once baked, remove from the oven and allow to cool briefly before serving warm.
Notes
- You can substitute cream of mushroom soup with cream of chicken soup if preferred.
- For extra flavor, sauté the onions in a bit of butter before adding the ground beef.
- To make the casserole more veggies packed, consider adding chopped carrots or bell peppers.
- Make sure to drain the grease well to prevent the casserole from becoming greasy.
- Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and reheated thoroughly before serving.
