How to Make Poor Man’s Husband Casserole
1. Preheat Your Oven
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×13-inch baking dish. This ensures your casserole won’t stick, making serving and cleanup easier.
2. Cook the Ground Beef
In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef until browned. Add the chopped onion and continue cooking until the onion softens, about 5 minutes. Once the beef is fully cooked, drain any excess fat to prevent the casserole from becoming greasy.
3. Season the Beef
Add the taco seasoning packet to the cooked beef and follow the instructions on the packet (usually adding a bit of water). Let it simmer until the mixture thickens, stirring occasionally.
4. Prepare the Noodle Mixture
In a medium-sized bowl, combine the cooked egg noodles, sour cream, and cream of mushroom soup. Stir until the noodles are fully coated, creating a creamy, comforting base for the casserole.
5. Assemble the Casserole
Spread the noodle mixture evenly into the greased baking dish. Next, layer the seasoned ground beef mixture on top of the noodles, ensuring it’s evenly distributed.
6. Add the Cheese
Generously sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese over the beef layer. This will create a bubbly, golden topping as the casserole bakes.
7. Bake
Place the casserole in the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbling. The smell of this baking casserole is irresistible!
8. Serve
Once baked, let the casserole cool for a few minutes before serving. Pair it with a simple green salad or steamed veggies for a complete meal.
