Instructions
Preparation Steps
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and cook until softened, about 5 minutes.
Stir in the ground beef and cook until browned, breaking it up with a spatula as it cooks, for about 7-10 minutes.
Add the diced tomatoes, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper to the skillet. Mix well and let it simmer for about 10 minutes.
While the beef mixture simmers, cook the egg noodles according to package instructions. Drain and set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the beef mixture, cooked noodles, and 1 cup of the cheddar cheese. Stir until well combined.
Transfer the mixture to a greased baking dish and top with the remaining cheese. Bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 20 minutes, or until cheese is bubbly and golden.
Let it cool for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy your comforting beef noodle casserole!
