Step-by-Step Instructions for Sour Cream Noodle Bake
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Gather your ingredients.
  2. Cook the egg noodles according to package instructions until al dente, about 8-10 minutes. Drain and set aside.
  3. In a skillet, brown the ground meat and chopped onion over medium heat for 5-7 minutes. Drain excess fat.
  4. In a large bowl, mix the cooked noodles with the meat mixture, sour cream, cream of mushroom soup, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
  5. Grease a 9x13-inch casserole dish. Layer half of the noodle mixture, followed by half of the cheese.
  6. Layer the remaining noodle mixture and top with the rest of the cheese.
  7. Cover with aluminum foil and bake for 25 minutes. Remove foil and bake for an additional 15 minutes.
  8. Let it rest for 5-10 minutes. Garnish with parsley and serve.
