Method
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook egg noodles according to package directions until al dente. Drain and set aside. Meanwhile, heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add ground beef and cook until browned, crumbling with a spoon. Drain excess grease.
- Reduce heat to medium, add butter to the skillet with the beef. Once melted, sprinkle in flour and seasonings. Cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly. Slowly whisk in beef broth until smooth. Bring to a simmer to thicken, then reduce heat to low and stir in the sour cream until combined.
- Turn off the heat and add the cooked noodles to the skillet, folding gently to coat everything in the sauce. Pour the mixture into a 9x13 inch baking dish and spread evenly. Top with the shredded Gruyère and Provolone cheeses.
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Top the cheese with the crispy fried onions. Bake for 20-25 minutes, until the sauce is bubbly and the topping is golden-brown. Let rest for 5-10 minutes before garnishing with fresh parsley and serving.
Notes
Don't Overcook the Noodles: Cooking the noodles to al dente is critical as they will continue to cook in the oven.
Shred Your Own Cheese: For the best melt and gooey texture, shred blocks of cheese yourself.
Use Full-Fat Sour Cream: This ensures the creamiest sauce that won't curdle or become watery.
Don't Skip the Rest: Letting the casserole rest allows the sauce to set, making it much easier to serve.
