Boil water in a pot and add salt to taste.

Add 2.5 cups of egg noodles to the boiling water and cook for about 10 minutes, then drain and set aside.

In a pan over medium-high heat, add 1 pound of medium ground beef and cook until browned, breaking it apart as it cooks.

Drain excess grease from the cooked ground beef.

Add 1 small chopped onion and sauté with the beef until fragrant.

Add 2 cups of broccoli florets and 1 can of sweet corn to the beef mixture and sauté until the broccoli turns bright green.

Season the mixture with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, paprika, Italian seasoning, and Worcestershire sauce, then stir to combine.

In a bowl, mix together 1 can of cream of mushroom soup, 1 cup of tomato sauce, and 1/2 cup of sour cream until well combined.

Spread a bit of the sauce on the bottom of a 9x9 baking dish.

Layer half of the cooked egg noodles in the dish, followed by half of the beef mixture, then half of the sauce, and sprinkle with cheddar cheese.

Repeat the layering process with the remaining noodles, beef mixture, sauce, and top with more cheddar cheese.

Bake in a preheated oven at 375°F for about 20 minutes until everything is heated through and the cheese is melted.

Garnish with fresh herbs before serving.
