Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients
- 12 oz wide egg noodles
- 1 lb ground breakfast sausage
- 1 can (14 oz) creamed corn
- 1 cup sour cream
- 2 tablespoons butter (for sautéing and baking)
- 1 medium onion, finely chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon seasoning blend (such as Italian seasoning or poultry seasoning)
Instructions
- Cook the Noodles: Boil the egg noodles in salted water until al dente, meaning they are tender but still slightly firm to the bite. Drain thoroughly to prevent excess moisture, then set aside.
- Brown the Sausage: In a large skillet, melt 1 tablespoon of butter over medium heat. Add the ground breakfast sausage and cook until browned and fully cooked through, breaking it into crumbles with a spatula. Remove any excess fat if necessary to avoid a greasy casserole.
- Sauté Aromatics: Add the finely chopped onion and minced garlic to the skillet with the sausage. Cook for 3 to 5 minutes, until softened and fragrant, building a flavorful base for the casserole.
- Mix the Main Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked noodles, sausage and onion mixture, creamed corn, and sour cream. Stir thoroughly to blend all ingredients evenly. Season with salt, pepper, and your chosen seasoning blend to taste.
- Bake to Perfection: Butter a medium casserole dish. Transfer the mixture evenly to the dish and dot the top with small pieces of butter for a golden crust. Bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 30 minutes, until the top is bubbly and lightly browned.
Notes
- Drain noodles well to avoid a soggy casserole.
- Use fresh, high-quality breakfast sausage for the best flavor.
- Don’t skip sautéing the onion and garlic as they add essential depth to the dish.
- Let the casserole rest for a few minutes after baking to allow flavors to meld and serving to be easier.
- Butter the casserole dish to prevent sticking and ensure a golden crust.
