11 - 170 g shredded cheddar cheese, divided
12 - 50 g grated Parmesan cheese

13 - 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley

# How to Make It:

01 - Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add egg noodles and cook according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
02 - In a large skillet over medium heat, cook ground beef, onion, and garlic. Stir regularly and break up beef until browned and onion is softened, about 6-8 minutes. Drain excess fat.
03 - Stir in Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper. Add drained diced tomatoes. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes to meld flavors, then remove from heat.
04 - In a mixing bowl, whisk together cream of mushroom soup and sour cream until smooth.
05 - Preheat oven to 175°C (350°F).
06 - Spread half of the cooked pasta evenly in a 23x33 cm baking dish. Top with half of the beef mixture and half of the creamy sauce. Sprinkle evenly with half the cheddar (about 85 g). Repeat layers with remaining pasta, beef, sauce, and cheddar.
07 - Sprinkle grated Parmesan cheese over the top layer of cheddar.
08 - Cover baking dish with foil and bake in preheated oven for 20 minutes.
09 - Remove foil and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes until cheese is melted, bubbly, and casserole is hot throughout.
10 - Allow casserole to rest a few minutes before serving. Garnish with fresh parsley if desired and serve hot.

# Additional Information:

01 - For a lighter version, substitute ground turkey or chicken for beef; add bell peppers, mushrooms, or spinach for additional flavor and nutrients.
