Instructions
1
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
2
In a large, heavy skillet or Dutch oven, cook the chopped bacon over high heat until it is crispy, about 7 minutes. Remove the bacon with a slotted spoon and set aside, leaving the rendered fat in the pan.
3
Season the sliced beef with 1 teaspoon of salt and 1 teaspoon of black pepper. In the same skillet, add the beef in batches, cooking for 3 minutes until browned. Once all the beef is cooked, stir in the onions and sauté until softened, about 8 minutes. Then, add the minced garlic and flour, cooking and stirring for an additional 3 minutes to create a roux.
4
Pour in the red wine and beef broth, stirring to combine. Bring the mixture to a boil, then add 1/2 teaspoon salt, the remaining 1/2 teaspoon black pepper, and Emeril's Original Essence. Lower the heat to medium and let it simmer for 5 minutes.
5
Add the sliced mushrooms, red onions, and green onions to the skillet, stirring occasionally, and let cook for another 4 minutes. Remove from heat and combine this beef mixture with the crispy bacon.
6
In a large pot, bring 4 quarts of water, 1 tablespoon of olive oil, and the remaining 1 teaspoon of salt to a boil. Add the wide egg noodles and cook until al dente, approximately 5 to 6 minutes. Drain the noodles well and transfer them to a large mixing bowl.
7
Combine the beef sauce mixture and sour cream with the drained noodles, tossing thoroughly to ensure the noodles are evenly coated.
8
Transfer the noodle and beef mixture to a deep 9 x 13-inch baking dish. Sprinkle the grated white cheddar cheese evenly over the top.
9
Place the baking dish on a large baking sheet to catch any spills and bake in the preheated oven for about 20 minutes, or until bubbly and golden on top. Remove from the oven and serve warm, enjoying the hearty flavors and cheesy goodness.
