Ingredients

10ouncesDried Egg Noodles
Meat

Soup
2cansCondensed Cream of Mushroom Soup10.75 ounces each
Dip
1jarLay's French Onion Dip15 ounces

Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish to prevent sticking.
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the egg noodles according to package directions until just al dente. Drain and set aside.
In a large skillet over medium heat, brown the ground beef until fully cooked, breaking it up with a spoon as it cooks. Drain off any excess grease for a lighter casserole.
Reduce the heat to low, then stir in both cans of condensed cream of mushroom soup and the full jar of French onion dip. Mix well to combine everything into a thick, creamy sauce.
Add the drained noodles to the beef and sauce mixture, stirring gently to ensure all noodles are coated evenly.
Transfer the mixture to your prepared baking dish, spreading it into an even layer.
Sprinkle the cup of French’s fried onions evenly over the top for an irresistible crispy crust.
Bake uncovered for 25-30 minutes, or until the casserole is bubbly and the onions are golden brown.
Let rest for 5 minutes before serving.
Notes
For a lighter version, substitute ground turkey for beef or use low-fat cream of mushroom soup.
