Instructions:

1. Cook the Beef and Vegetables:
   Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the beef, season with salt and pepper, and cook until browned. Remove and set aside.

   In the same skillet, sauté onions and mushrooms until soft. Add garlic and cook for another 30 seconds.

2. Make the Sauce:
   Sprinkle flour over the vegetables and stir for 1 minute. Gradually add beef broth, Worcestershire sauce, and Dijon mustard, stirring constantly until the sauce thickens. Remove from heat and stir in sour cream.

3. Combine with Pasta:
   Add the cooked beef and drained noodles to the sauce. Mix gently until everything is coated evenly.

4. Assemble the Casserole:
   Transfer the mixture to a greased baking dish. Sprinkle cheese over the top if using.

5. Bake:
   Bake uncovered for 20–25 minutes, until the casserole is bubbly and the cheese is melted and golden.

6. Serve:
   Garnish with chopped parsley and serve hot for a comforting, satisfying meal.

Tips for Perfect Beef Stroganoff Casserole:

• Use a combination of beef cuts: Ground beef is quick and easy, but stew meat adds a more traditional texture.

• Don’t overcook the noodles: Slightly undercook them so they finish cooking in the casserole and absorb the flavors.

• Make it ahead: Assemble the casserole a few hours ahead and refrigerate until ready to bake — perfect for busy nights.
