Step-by-Step Instructions for Beef Noodle Casserole
  1. In a large skillet over medium heat, brown 1 lb of ground beef for about 6-8 minutes until no longer pink. Drain excess fat.
  2. Add diced onion, 1 tablespoon Italian seasoning, 1 tablespoon garlic powder, 1 teaspoon Tony's seasoning, 1 teaspoon minced onion, and ½ teaspoon sugar. Stir in 29 oz tomato sauce and 1 cup of water, mix thoroughly, and simmer for about 10 minutes.
  3. Cook 16 oz wide egg noodles according to package instructions, typically around 8-10 minutes. Drain and set aside.
  4. Add 8 oz softened cream cheese and 16 oz sour cream to the skillet with the beef mixture, reduce heat to low and stir until creamy.
  5. Gently fold in the drained egg noodles, ensuring each noodle is coated with the creamy beef mixture.
  6. Pour the mixture into a greased baking dish and spread evenly.
  7. Sprinkle 8 oz shredded colby jack cheese over the top.
  8. Bake in a preheated oven at 350°F for 20-25 minutes until the cheese is melted and golden brown.
