    Cheesy Beef and Noodle Casserole is creamy, cheesy and delicious. My family loves this easy meal filled with beef, diced peppers, onions, egg noodles and cheese. 

    This cheesy beef and noodle casserole is one of my favorite ground beef recipes on this site. If you like this one be sure to try the cheesy beef and rice and skillet ground beef casserole. 

    Cheesy Beef and Noodle Casserole with Spoon

    I am all about an easy meal that doesn’t require a lot of ingredients. This cheesy beef and noodle casserole has everything you need for one complete meal. 

    HOW TO MAKE BEEF AND NOODLE CASSEROLE

    Begin by browning the ground beef in a skillet. Be sure to drain any excess grease once it’s cooked through. Add in diced green pepper, diced onion and salt and pepper. 

    Stir for 2-3 minutes and then add in a can of tomato sauce. 

    While the sauce is cooking, boil the egg noodles according to package directions. Drain once finished cooking.

    In a bowl, mix together sour cream, cottage cheese and ground black pepper.

    Spray a 9×13 casserole dish with non-stick spray. Layer half of the egg noodles, sauce mixture, cottage cheese mixture and 1 cup shredded cheese. Repeat the layers and bake for approximately 25 minutes.

    TIPS FOR BEEF AND NOODLE CASSEROLE

    • I used light sour cream and low-fat cottage cheese for this recipe but it works fine with regular. 
    • Feel free to use your favorite “melty” cheese. I love using a cheddar mix. 
    • If you have picky kids feel free to omit the onion or dice the onion and pepper very small.
