Reduced-fat options can cut calories while maintaining flavor.

egg noodles

🥗Healthier: whole wheat noodles

💰Cheaper: elbow macaroni

ground beef

🥗Healthier: ground turkey

💰Cheaper: ground pork

Ground turkey is lower in fat, while ground pork is often less expensive.

Preheat the oven to 350°F.

In a skillet, add 1 pound of ground beef and turn on the heat to cook it.

Break up the ground beef as it cooks.

Cook 2 cups of egg noodles separately and set aside.

Open the cans of condensed tomato soup and cream of mushroom soup to have them ready.

Once the ground beef is browned, add 1 chopped onion and 1 minced clove of garlic to the skillet.

Cook the onion and garlic until they are fragrant and the onion is translucent.

Add the cream of mushroom soup, tomato soup, and 1 cup of milk to the skillet.

Stir in salt and pepper to taste.

Add the cooked egg noodles and mix everything together.

If desired, add 1 cup of frozen peas for color.

Transfer the mixture to a casserole dish and top with 2 cups of shredded cheddar cheese.

Bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes or until the cheese is bubbly and golden.
