1. Cook the Pasta
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook egg noodles according to package directions until al dente. Drain and set aside.

In a large skillet over medium heat, sauté ground beef, diced onion, and garlic. Cook until the meat is browned and the onions are soft (about 6–8 minutes). Drain excess fat.

4. Make the Creamy Sauce
In a mixing bowl, whisk together cream of mushroom soup and sour cream until smooth.

Layer ingredients in a greased 9×13-inch baking dish as follows:
- Half of the cooked noodles
- Half of the beef mixture
- Half of the creamy sauce
- ¾ cup shredded cheddar cheese
Repeat the layers, then sprinkle Parmesan cheese on top.
6. Bake
Cover with foil and bake for 20 minutes.
Remove foil and bake for another 10–15 minutes, until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

Let the casserole rest for a few minutes before serving.
Garnish with fresh parsley if desired and enjoy warm!
