Preheat oven to 350F.
Spray a 9x13 oven safe baking dish with nonstick spray.
Cook noodles until al dente and drain.
In a large skillet, cook the ground beef and onions with the olive oil.
Cook until onions are soft and ground beef no longer pink.
Drain the fat if desired.
In a large bowl, combine the cooked ground beef, onions, both cream soups, cooked egg noodles, garlic powder, pepper, ½ cup cheese, and tomato sauce.
Pour into the prepared casserole dish.
Top with remaining cheese.
Cover with foil and bake for 20 minutes.
Remove the foil and bake for another 5-10 minutes or until the edges are bubbly and the cheese is melted.
Remove from the oven and serve warm.

I found that spraying the foil with nonstick spray before putting on the casserole dish. This way the cheese doesn’t stick to it when it melts and it doesn’t get pulled off when you remove the foil.
Always spray your casserole dish first with a non-stick spray or brush with cooking oil. This helps you most when it is time to clean up the dish afterwards.
You can cover for the first 15 minutes with foil, but then take off the foil and let that melted cheese turn into a nice melted cheese crust over the top.
Garnish with a bit of chopped parsley and or chopped green onions to add a bit of herbal zest and sprinkle of color.
Serve with some sour cream and hot sauce on the side too.
If you don't have a 9x13 inch casserole dish handy, then you can use a 10" cast iron skillet as well. Any pan that offers about two inches of depth and safe to put in the oven is ok.
