Directions

  1. 1Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. 2Lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish to prevent sticking.
  3. 3Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil.
  4. 4Cook the egg noodles according to package directions until just al dente.
  5. 5Drain and set aside.
  6. 6In a large skillet over medium heat, brown the ground beef until fully cooked, breaking it up with a spoon as it cooks.
  7. 7Drain off any excess grease for a lighter casserole.
  8. 8Reduce the heat to low, then stir in both cans of condensed cream of mushroom soup and the full jar of French onion dip.
  9. 9Mix well to combine everything into a thick, creamy sauce.
  10. 10Add the drained noodles to the beef and sauce mixture, stirring gently to ensure all noodles are coated evenly.
  11. 11Transfer the mixture to your prepared baking dish, spreading it into an even layer.
  12. 12Sprinkle the cup of French’s fried onions evenly over the top for an irresistible crispy crust.
  13. 13Bake uncovered for 25-30 minutes, or until the casserole is bubbly and the onions are golden brown.
  14. 14Let rest for 5 minutes before serving.
