Step-by-Step Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the egg noodles for 2-3 minutes less than package directions, then drain.
In a large skillet, brown the ground beef over medium-high heat for 6-8 minutes until fully cooked. Drain excess grease.
Stir in garlic powder, Italian seasoning, and marinara sauce into the beef. Fold in the cooked egg noodles.
Transfer the mixture to a greased 13” x 9” baking dish.
Sprinkle shredded mozzarella cheese on top of the mixture.
Bake uncovered for 30-45 minutes until the cheese is bubbly and golden brown.
Allow to cool for a few minutes before serving.
