Instructions for Angel Beef Casserole
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Cook the Beef: In a large skillet over medium heat, brown the ground beef, breaking it apart as it cooks. Once browned, drain any excess fat.
- Sauté Vegetables: Add the chopped onion and bell pepper to the skillet and sauté until they are soft, about 5 minutes.
- Combine Ingredients: Stir in the frozen mixed vegetables, cream of mushroom soup, sour cream, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix well until combined.
- Add Noodles: Gently fold in the cooked egg noodles until everything is evenly mixed.
- Transfer to Baking Dish: Pour the mixture into a greased 9×13-inch baking dish.
- Add Cheese: Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the top.
- Add Optional Topping: If using, sprinkle crushed potato chips or breadcrumbs followed by the grated parmesan cheese over the casserole.
- Bake: Cover the dish with aluminum foil and bake for 25 minutes. After 25 minutes, remove the foil and bake for an additional 15-20 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and the top is golden brown.
- Serve: Remove from the oven and let it sit for about 5 minutes before serving. Enjoy!
