Description

A layered noodle casserole with ground beef, marinara sauce, cheddar cheese, cream cheese and sour cream.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound lean ground beef
  • 1 Tbsp minced garlic
  • 1 tsp Italian seasoning
  • 1/4 tsp kosher salt
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper
  • 2 cups beef broth
  • 6 ounces egg noodles (half a bag)
  • 2 cups marinara sauce or tomato sauce
  • 1 tsp balsamic vinegar
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 4 ounces cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese

Instructions

  1. Turn Instant Pot to saute setting. When display says HOT add in the ground beef and break it up. Brown for about 5 minutes. Drain off excess grease. Stir in the garlic, Italian seasoning, kosher salt and pepper. 
  2. Pour in the broth and scrape bottom of pot so that nothing is sticking. 
  3. Sprinkle in the egg noodles. Pour the marinara sauce evenly over the noodles. Add in the balsamic.
  4. Cover Instant Pot and secure the lid. Make sure valve is set to sealing. Set the manual/pressure cook button to 1 minute. When time is up let pot sit for 5 minutes and then move valve to venting. Remove the lid. Stir well.
  5. In a bowl whisk together the sour cream and cream cheese until smooth.
  6. Scoop half of the mixture in the Instant Pot into a separate dish or container. Spread the sour cream mixture over the noodles that remain in the Instant Pot with a rubber scraper. Scoop the remaining noodles in the container over the top of the sour cream mixture. Sprinkle the cheese on top. 
  7. Place air fryer lid on top and bake at 300 degrees for 5 minutes. 
  8. Serve and enjoy.

Notes

If you don’t have an air fryer lid then you can finish off this dish in your oven. Add half of the cooked noodle mixture into a 9×9 inch baking dish. Spread the sour cream mixture over the top. Add the remaining noodles on top. Sprinkle with cheese. Bake at 350 for 10-15 minutes.
