Ingredients
 

Main Ingredients

  • 12 oz wide egg noodles uncooked
  • 1.5 lb ground beef 85% lean
  • 1.5 cup yellow onion, diced
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tbsp olive oil plus more to grease the baking dish
  • 15 oz tomato sauce
  • 14.5 oz diced tomatoes with juices
  • 0.5 cup beef broth low sodium
  • 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 tsp Italian seasoning
  • 1 tsp smoked paprika or sweet paprika
  • 1.25 tsp kosher salt divided, to taste
  • 0.75 tsp black pepper freshly ground
  • 1 cup sour cream full-fat
  • 4 oz cream cheese softened
  • 2 cup cheddar cheese, shredded sharp
  • 1 cup mozzarella, shredded
  • 2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped for garnish

Instructions

Preparation Steps

  • Preheat oven to 375°F. Lightly oil a 9x13 inch baking dish.
  • Cook egg noodles in a large pot of salted boiling water until just al dente. Drain and toss with a drizzle of olive oil to prevent sticking.
  • Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add diced onion and cook until translucent, about 4 minutes. Stir in garlic and cook 0.5 minute more.
  • Add ground beef and cook, breaking it up, until browned and no longer pink, about 6 to 8 minutes. Drain excess fat if needed.
  • Stir in tomato sauce, diced tomatoes, beef broth, Worcestershire, Italian seasoning, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Simmer 5 to 7 minutes to thicken slightly. Adjust seasoning to taste.
  • In a large bowl, whisk sour cream with softened cream cheese until smooth. Add the cooked noodles and toss to coat evenly.
  • Combine the noodle mixture with about half of the beef sauce. Spread into the prepared baking dish. Spoon the remaining beef sauce over the top and gently swirl. Sprinkle evenly with cheddar and mozzarella.
  • Bake uncovered until bubbly and the cheese is melted, about 20 minutes. Broil 1 to 2 minutes for extra browning if desired.
  • Let rest 5 to 10 minutes. Garnish with parsley and serve.

Notes

Make-ahead: Assemble up to 1 day in advance, cover, and refrigerate. Add 5 to 10 minutes to bake time. Storage: Refrigerate leftovers in an airtight container up to 4 days or freeze up to 2 months.
