• Marinara sauce – 2 cups
• Shredded cheddar cheese – 2 cups
• Sour cream – 1 cup
• Salt and pepper – to taste
• Olive oil – 1 tbsp
• Dried oregano – 1 tsp

Instructions:
Step 1: Preheat and Cook Noodles – Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Cook the egg noodles according to package directions until al dente, then drain and set aside.

Step 2: Brown the Beef – In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the ground beef and cook until browned, breaking it into crumbles. Season with salt, pepper, and oregano.

Step 3: Simmer the Sauce – Stir in the marinara sauce and let the mixture simmer for about 5 minutes.

Step 4: Make the Creamy Noodle Mixture – In a large bowl, combine the cooked noodles, cream cheese, sour cream, and half of the shredded cheddar. Mix well until noodles are fully coated.

Step 5: Combine Casserole – Add the beef and marinara mixture to the creamy noodles, stirring to combine. Spread the mixture evenly in a 9×13-inch baking dish.

Step 6: Bake – Sprinkle the remaining cheddar cheese over the top. Bake for 25–30 minutes, until the cheese is melted and lightly golden.

Step 7: Serve – Allow the casserole to cool for a few minutes before serving.
