Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Cheesy Beef Chili Casserole with Egg Noodles.
Step 1
Start by preheating your oven to a cozy 350°F (175°C) and give a 9x14 inch baking dish a light greasing to ensure your delicious creation doesn’t stick.
Step 2
While the oven warms up, grab a large pot and fill it with lightly salted water.
Step 3
Bring it to a rolling boil, then add in your egg noodles.
Step 4
Cook them until they’re perfectly al dente, which should take about 5 minutes.
Step 5
Once done, drain the noodles in a colander and set them aside.
Step 6
Next, heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add your ground beef.
Step 7
Cook it until it’s beautifully browned and fully cooked through.
Step 8
Then, toss in the chopped onion and minced garlic, stirring until the onion becomes nice and translucent, filling your kitchen with a delightful aroma.
Step 9
Now it’s time to bring the flavors together! Stir in the tomato sauces, a splash of water, and a bit of red wine for depth.
Step 10
Season this mixture with ground cumin, dried oregano, and a pinch of cayenne pepper to give it a little kick.
Step 11
Let everything simmer together, allowing those flavors to meld beautifully.
Step 12
Once your sauce is ready, combine the cooked egg noodles with the beef and sauce mixture, ensuring every noodle is coated in that savory goodness.
Step 13
Transfer this hearty mixture into your prepared baking dish, and don’t forget to sprinkle a generous layer of shredded Cheddar cheese on top—this is where the magic happens! Pop the dish into your preheated oven and let it bake for about 20 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly, creating a golden, irresistible crust.
Step 14
As the aroma fills your home, you’ll know it’s almost time to dig in.
Step 15
Enjoy your delicious creation!.
