Ingredients
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1 large onion chopped
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- 1 medium red bell pepper diced
- ½ teaspoon dried oregano
- salt and pepper to taste
- 2 cups beef broth low sodium
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 10 ounces noodles such as egg noodles
- 1 cup sour cream
- 2 cups cheddar cheese shredded
- 1 cup Parmesan Cheese grated
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- fresh parsley chopped, for garnish
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the ground beef and cook until browned. Drain any excess grease.

- Stir in oregano, salt, and pepper. Cook for another minute.
- Pour in beef broth and heavy cream. Add Worcestershire sauce. Bring to a simmer.
- Add the noodles to the skillet, making sure they're submerged in the liquid. Cook until the noodles are al dente, about 8-10 minutes. Stir occasionally.
- Reduce heat and stir in the sour cream until well combined.
- Mix in half of the cheddar cheese and half of the Parmesan cheese until melted and incorporated.
- Transfer the mixture to a baking dish. Top with the remaining cheddar and Parmesan cheese. Bake in the preheated oven for about 20-25 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and golden brown.
- Garnish with chopped parsley. Let it cool for a few minutes before serving.
