Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and generously spray a 9x13-inch baking pan with non-stick spray.
  2. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and add the dried egg noodles. Cook until al dente, about 7–10 minutes.
  3. In a large skillet over medium-high heat, cook the lean ground beef, breaking it apart in the skillet until browned, about 5–7 minutes.
  4. Drain excess grease and mix in the condensed cream of mushroom soup and jarred Lay’s French onion dip until well combined.
  5. Gently fold the cooked egg noodles into the beef mixture, ensuring all noodles are well coated.
  6. Transfer the mixture into the prepared baking pan and sprinkle the fried onions generously on top.
  7. Bake in the preheated oven uncovered for about 20 minutes until heated through and fried onions are golden brown.
  8. Let the casserole cool for a few minutes before serving, and garnish with freshly chopped parsley if desired.
