• 1 medium onion, chopped
• 1 can (15 oz) diced tomatoes (with juice)
• 1 can (8 oz) tomato sauce
• 1 can (15 oz) kidney beans, rinsed and drained
• 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon chili powder (optional)
• Salt and pepper to taste
• 2 cups cooked egg noodles or pasta
• For the Topping:
• 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
• 1 cup sour cream
• 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
• 1/4 cup chopped green onions or chives (optional)

Instructions:

1. Preheat the Oven
Set your oven to 350°F (175°C).

2. Cook the Ground Beef
In a large skillet, brown 1 lb of ground beef over medium heat. Drain excess fat, then add the chopped onion. Cook until the onion is soft, about 5 minutes.

3. Build the Base
Stir in the diced tomatoes, tomato sauce, kidney beans, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, and chili powder (if using). Season with salt and pepper, then let the mixture simmer for 5 minutes.

4. Combine with Noodles
In a large bowl, mix the beef mixture with the cooked egg noodles until well blended.

5. Prepare the Cheesy Topping
In a separate bowl, combine sour cream, shredded cheddar cheese, and Parmesan cheese.

6. Assemble the Casserole
Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish. Spread the beef and noodle mixture evenly, then top it with the cheese mixture.

7. Bake to Perfection
Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the topping is bubbly and golden.

8. Serve and Enjoy
Let the casserole cool slightly. Garnish with green onions or chives for extra flavor.
