- 1 can (10.5 oz.) cream of mushroom soup
- 2 cups cooked egg noodles or your favorite noodles

- Add the Noodles: Stir in the cooked egg noodles, gently mixing until they are evenly coated with the beef and creamy sauce.
- Add the Cheese: Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese over the mixture. Cover the skillet and cook for a few minutes until the cheese is melted and gooey.
- Serve: Stir gently to combine or leave the melted cheese layered on top. Serve hot for a quick and satisfying dinner.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently in the microwave or on the stovetop, adding a small splash of milk or broth if the mixture becomes too thick.
