Ingredients

Scale
  • 12 oz wide egg noodles
  • 1½ lbs ground beef
  • 1 large yellow onion, diced
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 red bell pepper, chopped
  • 2 cups sour cream
  • 1 cup cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • ½ cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 2 tablespoons tomato paste
  • 1 can (14.5 oz) diced tomatoes, drained
  • 2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • 1 cup panko breadcrumbs
  • ½ cup additional cheddar cheese
  • 2 tablespoons butter, melted
  • Fresh parsley for garnish

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F and grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
  2. Cook egg noodles in salted water until al dente, drain and set aside.
  3. In a large skillet, brown the ground beef over medium-high heat, then add onion, bell pepper, and cook until softened. Stir in garlic and cook 1 minute.
  4. Add tomato paste, cook for 2 minutes, then add diced tomatoes, Worcestershire, paprika, oregano, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Simmer 5 minutes.
  5. In a large bowl, mix softened cream cheese and sour cream until smooth. Stir in beef mixture, 1 cup cheddar, mozzarella, and cooked noodles until well combined.
  6. Transfer mixture to prepared baking dish. Mix panko, melted butter, and remaining cheddar, and sprinkle over the top.
  7. Cover with foil and bake 25 minutes. Remove foil and bake another 15–20 minutes until bubbly and golden. Garnish with parsley before serving.

Notes

Use room temperature cream cheese for a smooth base. Don’t overcook noodles, as they will soften more in the oven. Freeze leftovers up to 3 months.
