Instructions:
- Start by boiling a large pot of salted water. Once it reaches a rolling boil, add the medium egg noodles and cook according to the package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
- In a skillet over medium heat, add the ground beef. Cook until browned and no longer pink, breaking it apart with a spatula as it cooks. Drain any excess fat.
- Sprinkle the taco seasoning over the browned beef. Pour in 1 cup of water and stir to combine. Allow it to simmer for about 5 minutes until the mixture thickens slightly.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked noodles, seasoned beef, undrained Rotel diced tomatoes, condensed cheddar cheese soup, and sour cream. Mix everything together until well combined.
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a baking dish with cooking spray or a little oil. Pour the noodle mixture into the prepared baking dish, spreading it evenly.
- Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese generously over the top of the noodle mixture. This will create a gooey, cheesy layer as it bakes.
- Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 25 to 30 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and golden.
- Once out of the oven, let the Taco Noodle Bake cool for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy it straight from the dish, or serve with your favorite taco toppings like diced avocado, fresh cilantro, or a dollop of sour cream!
