Beef Noodle Casserole

By Addie

This casserole is perfect when there's a busy day coming up, because you can prepare it ahead of time. It's ideal for a potluck, too. The flavors blend together to create a delicious combination.

Ingredients

• 2 pounds ground beef
• 1 large onion, chopped
• 1 medium green pepper, chopped
• 1 can (14-3/4 ounces) cream-style corn
• 1 can (10-3/4 ounces) condensed tomato soup, undiluted
• 1 can (8 ounces) tomato sauce
• 1 jar (2 ounces) sliced pimientos, drained
• 2 tablespoons chopped jalapeno pepper
• 1-1/2 teaspoons salt
• 1/2 teaspoon chili powder
• 1/4 teaspoon ground mustard
• 1/4 teaspoon pepper
• 1 package (8 ounces) medium egg noodles, cooked and drained
• 1 jar (4-1/2 ounces) sliced mushrooms, drained
• 1-1/2 cups (6 ounces) shredded cheddar cheese

Preparation

Step 1

In a large skillet, cook the beef, onion and green pepper over medium heat until the meat is no longer pink and vegetables are tender; drain. Add the next nine ingredients. Stir in noodles and mushrooms.

Transfer to a greased 13-in. x 9-in. baking dish. Sprinkle with cheese. Bake, uncovered, at 350° for 45 minutes or until heated through. Yield: 8-10 servings.

Editor's Note: Wear disposable gloves when cutting hot peppers; the oils can burn skin. Avoid touching your face.

Very Good!!! The only change I made was I used diced a red pepper in place for the pimientos

Very good. I substituted mild green chiles and doubled the chili powder because we don't like jalapenos. Everyone enjoyed it.

VERY GOOD RECIPE. THANKS FOR SHARING. I DID HAVE TO CHANGE IT A LITTLE BIT FOR MY PICKY EATERS, I SKIPPED THE JALAPENOS AND MUSHROOMS BUT ADDED A CAN OF ROTEL DICED TOMATOES WITH GREEN CHILES AND SKIPPED THE PIMENTOS AS WELL. DEFINITELY WILL BE MAKING AGAIN.

This is a good recipe! Definitely a comfort food favorite but not too completely unhealthy. I split it into two seperate 2 qt dishes - one without jalapenos for the kids, and one with for us fire-lovin' adults. We have lots of left overs which is great for our busy house (cook once, eat twice... or more!)I used 1 pound of ground turkey and 1 pound of ground beef to reduce some of the fat as well as reduced fat "fiesta" cheese.

This was good. I might add whole corn as well. I wouldn't put as much Jalapeno as it calls for next time. Little to warm for me and my family's taste. But overall very good.

I made this for the fire hall and it was a big hit with all the fire fighters and their families. I've also made this for a family reunion and it got lots of compliments.
