1 packet French onion soup mix
1 can (10.5 oz) cream of mushroom soup

1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper

Instructions
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).

Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Add sliced onions and cook until softened and lightly caramelized.
Stir in minced garlic and cook for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
Add ground beef and cook until browned, breaking it apart as it cooks. Drain excess fat if needed.
Stir in French onion soup mix, cream of mushroom soup, sour cream, and beef broth. Mix until combined.
Add cooked egg noodles and toss until evenly coated with the sauce.
Transfer the mixture to a greased casserole dish.
Sprinkle mozzarella and cheddar cheese evenly over the top.
Bake uncovered for 20–25 minutes until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

Notes
Caramelizing the onions adds depth and sweetness to the casserole.
You can add mushrooms, peas, or spinach for extra flavor and nutrition.
If reheating, cover with foil to prevent the casserole from drying out.
