Cooking steps
  1. 1

    Preheat the oven to 350°F and lightly grease a 9x13-inch casserole dish.

  2. 2

    Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook egg noodles until just al dente, about 6 minutes. Drain and set aside.

  3. 3

    While noodles cook, brown the ground beef with chopped onion in a large skillet over medium heat. Cook for 6–7 minutes, breaking up the meat, until beef is no longer pink and onions are soft. Drain excess fat.

  4. 4

    Reduce heat to low. Stir in tomato paste, garlic powder, parsley, salt, and black pepper, mixing well for 1 minute until fragrant.

  5. 5

    Add both soups, whole milk, and half the shredded cheddar cheese to the skillet. Mix to combine, then fold in cooked noodles evenly.

  6. 6

    Transfer the mixture to the prepared casserole dish, spreading evenly. Top with remaining cheddar cheese.

  7. 7

    Bake, uncovered, for 25–30 minutes, until hot and bubbly with cheese melted and golden. Let rest 5 minutes before serving.

Personalized Q&A
Q. What's the key ingredient in this Best Easy Amish Country Casserole Recipe?

Cook the egg noodles just until al dente before mixing them into the casserole. Because they'll bake further in the oven, undercooking slightly prevents mushiness and preserves a pleasant bite after baking.

After browning the beef and onions, reduce the heat and stir in the tomato paste and seasonings for about one minute. This process ensures the aromatics bloom in the fat, deepening the overall flavor of the casserole.
