5 stars! My entire family loved this! Need to make double next time

One pound of ground beef

2 minced garlic cloves and 1 medium chopped onion

1 can of chopped tomatoes, not drained (14.5 oz.)

one cup of beef bran

tomato paste, one 6-oz can

1/4 teaspoon of salt

one-half teaspoon of black pepper

half a teaspoon of chilli powder

3/4 teaspoon of cumin

2 cups of egg noodle cooking water

1/4 cup of cheddar cheese, shredded

Sour cream, half a cup

(Optional) 1/4 cup of fresh parsley, chopped

How to Follow

Initial step: Get the oven hot, about 350 degrees Fahrenheit (175 degrees Celsius).

2. Brown the ground beef in a large pan over medium heat. Eliminate any surplus of fat.

3. Cook, stirring occasionally, the minced garlic and chopped onion in a pan until the onion becomes translucent, which should take around 5 minutes.

4. Add the tomato paste, chopped tomatoes, beef broth, cumin, salt, black pepper, and chili powder. Stir to combine. Reduce heat to low and simmer, stirring periodically, for about 10 minutes.

5. After the egg noodles are done, take the pan from the heat and mix in half of the shredded cheddar cheese.

Measure out a greased 9x13-inch baking dish and transfer the mixture to it.

7. Top the casserole with the sour cream and then top with the rest of the cheddar cheese.

Put the casserole in the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the cheese melts and becomes brown. It should be bubbling when done.

9. If you'd like, you may top it up with some chopped fresh parsley before serving.

Tips and Variations

You may make it hotter by adding a diced jalapeño or a splash of spicy sauce to the mixture. For a lighter alternative, consider using ground turkey instead of beef if you have finicky eaters in your family. To boost the nutritional value, you may covertly include some vegetables like spinach or bell peppers. Substitute gluten-free noodles for the regular ones, and if you're looking to make it even more cheesy, throw in more pepper jack or mozzarella cheese.
