Ingredients
Instructions
- Brown the hamburger lightly in a skillet, adding chopped onion until cooked through.

- Transfer to a baking dish and bake at 375°F for 30 minutes.

Tips & Substitutions
For a creamier texture, consider adding a dollop of sour cream to the mixture before baking. If you're out of egg noodles, you can substitute with any pasta shape you prefer. Adding sautéed bell peppers or zucchini can boost the vegetable content and flavor. For a different taste, you could use cheddar cheese instead of American.
Serving Suggestions
Serve this hearty dish hot, paired with a fresh green salad or steamed vegetables for a balanced meal. It also pairs beautifully with the Baked Cheese And Tomato Fondue for a delightful cheese experience. Consider serving with crusty bread for mopping up all the delicious sauce.
