Cheesy Hamburger Casserole

Instructions:

1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
2. Cook the beef: In a skillet, brown the ground beef with onion and garlic over medium heat. Drain excess fat.
3. Mix the sauce: Stir in cheddar cheese soup, cream of mushroom soup, milk, Worcestershire sauce, mustard (if using), salt, and pepper. Simmer for 2-3 minutes.
4. Combine: Add cooked noodles to the beef mixture and mix well. Transfer to a greased 9×13-inch baking dish.
5. Top with cheese: Sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the top, followed by crushed crackers or breadcrumbs.
6. Bake: Cover with foil and bake for 20 minutes. Uncover and bake for another 5-10 minutes until bubbly and golden.
7. Serve hot! Let it cool slightly before serving.
