1/2 teaspoon pepper
8 ounces wide egg noodles
Cooking spray

3. Put the noodle mixture into a baking dish that you have sprayed with cooking spray. Top with cheese. Bake for about 15 minutes, until the cheese is melted. Enjoy it has a family meal, then refrigerate the leftovers.

4. Take leftovers to school in a small microwave-safe container with a tight-fitting lid. Before heating, unsnap the lid to allow steam to escape. Heat casserole in the microwave oven for about 90 seconds.

Made this for my husband for dinner tonight. He liked it! Great hearty meal. I used 93/7 ground beef. I also substituted some of the green pepper for a jalapeno from the garden.
