HOW TO MAKE SOUR CREAM BEEF AND NOODLE BAKE
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
- Brown ground beef over medium heat. Drain excess grease.

- Cook egg noodles and drain.

- Layer noodle mixture, beef mixture and then shredded cheese. Repeat layers.

RECIPE TIPS AND VARIATIONS
- Beef – I typically use ground sirloin but you can substitute ground turkey or ground chicken. I have even made this substituting diced zucchini and mushrooms for the beef.
- Cheese – I like to use Colby/Monterey Jack blend but cheddar is also wonderful.
- Onion – If you don’t like green onion, feel free to leave it out.
CAN I FREEZE SOUR CREAM NOODLE BAKE?
Yes, you can freeze this casserole.
If you are freezing after you bake, let completely cool and then place in airtight, freezer safe container. You could also tightly wrap the whole casserole dish in plastic wrap and then foil. To thaw, place in refrigerator overnight.
You can also freeze this dish before baking. Once the casserole is assembled, wrap in plastic wrap and then foil and freeze. This can be freezed for 2 months.
Reheating – When reheating this noodle bake, make sure to keep it covered in foil while in the oven so the cheese does not burn.
