This tastes like a cheeseburger without the bun.

Difficulty: Easy

Ingredients Add to grocery list

1 lb. ground beef
1 large onion, chopped
1 green pepper, chopped

1/2 teaspoon pepper
8 ounces wide egg noodles
Cooking spray
2 cups grated sharp cheddar cheese

1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. In a large skillet, cook the ground beef over medium heat, stirring to break up the lumps, until all of the pink is gone from the meat.

2. Fill medium pot half full of water. Add 1 teaspoon salt. Bring the water to a boil. Stir in the noodles and boil for about 8 minutes, until tender. Get an adult to help you drain the noodles, Return the noodles to the pot. Pour the tomato mixture over the noodles and stir until blended.

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.

Great recipe. Hearty, too much liquid, after draining the ground beef, and adding tomatoes-ect. I had to drain it once more, or it would have been cheeseburger soup vs casserole! Taste was delicious, husband actually ate it for left overs grin

Just made this for my kids. I switched the tomatoes for tomato sauce and cut down on the green pepper and onion. Also substituted shredded Veleta for the cheddar. Turned out wonderful!!
