Ingredients
  

1 lb (450g) ground beef

8 oz (225g) egg noodles

1 medium onion, chopped

2 cloves garlic, minced

1 can (10.5 oz) cream of mushroom soup

1 cup sour cream

1 cup shredded cheddar cheese

1 cup frozen mixed vegetables (peas, carrots, corn)

2 tsp Worcestershire sauce

1 tsp dried Italian herbs (oregano, basil, thyme)

Salt and pepper to taste

1 cup panko breadcrumbs (for topping)

2 tbsp olive oil (for drizzling)

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

    Cook the Noodles: In a large pot of salted boiling water, cook the egg noodles according to package directions until al dente. Drain and set aside.

      Brown the Beef: In a large skillet, heat a tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and minced garlic, sauté for 2-3 minutes until fragrant. Add the ground beef, breaking it up with a spoon, and cook until browned. Season with salt, pepper, and Worcestershire sauce.

        Prepare the Sauce: Once the beef is cooked, reduce the heat to low. Stir in the cream of mushroom soup, sour cream, and shredded cheddar cheese until well combined. Add the frozen mixed vegetables and the dried Italian herbs. Mix until everything is evenly incorporated.

          Combine Noodles and Beef Mixture: In a large mixing bowl, combine the drained egg noodles with the creamy beef mixture. Stir until the noodles are fully coated.

            Prepare for Baking: Transfer the mixture into a greased 9x13 inch (23x33 cm) baking dish, spreading it out evenly.

              Add the Topping: In a small bowl, combine the panko breadcrumbs with a drizzle of olive oil. Sprinkle the breadcrumb mixture evenly over the casserole.

                Bake: Place the casserole in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the casserole is bubbly.

                  Serve: Allow the casserole to cool for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy your creamy beef noodle casserole hot!
