Cook half a bag of egg noodles (about 1 pound) in a sauce pot until tender.

In a large skillet, heat to medium and cook 1 pound of ground beef, seasoning with a couple pinches of salt and black pepper.

Once the beef is fully cooked, add 2 cans of cream of mushroom soup and turn off the heat.

Stir in 16 oz of French onion dip and 1 tablespoon of Worcestershire sauce, mixing well.

Add the cooked egg noodles to the beef mixture and combine thoroughly.

Melt 3 tablespoons of butter in the microwave.

Transfer the beef and noodle mixture into a baking dish, scraping out any remaining mixture from the skillet with a rubber spatula.

Sprinkle about 1 to 1.5 cups of french fried onions on top of the mixture.

Pour the melted butter over the top of the casserole to keep it creamy and moist.

Bake in a 350°F oven for about 20 minutes.
