Instructions
1
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a 13x9x2-inch baking dish to prepare for baking.
2
In a large skillet, cook the ground chuck over medium heat, adding the chopped onion and minced garlic. Stir occasionally until the meat is browned and crumbles nicely, then drain any excess fat from the skillet.
3
Return the browned meat mixture to the skillet, then stir in the Worcestershire sauce, sliced mushrooms, and beef broth. Bring this mixture to a gentle boil, then reduce the heat and let it simmer for about 15 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
4
Once the simmering time is complete, stir in the cream of mushroom soup, sour cream, salt, and pepper. Mix well and remove the skillet from heat.
5
In a separate large bowl, combine the hot cooked egg noodles with the butter, mixing until the butter melts and coats the noodles evenly.
6
Fold the creamy meat sauce into the buttery noodles until thoroughly combined. Transfer the entire mixture into the prepared baking dish, spreading it out evenly.
7
Bake the casserole in the preheated oven for 30 minutes, allowing it to heat through.

After 30 minutes, remove the casserole from the oven and top it evenly with the French fried onion rings. Return it to the oven and bake for an additional 10 minutes until the onion rings are golden brown and crispy.
