This ground beef casserole classic made with noodles, vegetables, and cheese is one of these easy, get-on-the table dinners that’s great for potlucks, too.
Ingredients
2 cups egg noodles
1 pound ground beef
1 can (10-3/4 ounces) condensed cream of mushroom soup
1 can (14-1/2 ounces) tomatoes, drained
3/4 cup shredded cheese (cheddar, Colby, Monterey jack)
3/4 cup diced green bell pepper
salt and pepper, to taste
1 can (2.8 ounces) French-fried onions
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.
Cook the noodles according to package directions. Drain well.
In a nonstick skillet, brown the meat. Drain off any excess fat. Combine the noodles, beef, soup, tomatoes, cheese, and green pepper. Add salt and pepper to taste. Pour into prepared baking dish. Cover and bake for 40 minutes. Uncover and sprinkle the onions on top. Bake for an additional 5 minutes. Serve hot.

This is one of my favorites and it is on our regular monthly dinner menu :) The family loves it. Thank you!
Did not have a green pepper so added some salsa verde.I use Amish noodles because they do not go to mush when reheated.This has become a family favorite....TYVM.
I get annoyed with reviewers that comment after they've redesigned the recipe rendering it unrecognizable but here I go-ha The reason why is that sadly, my pantry is bare, emptier than I thought before I started this recipe. One substitution turned into several and interestingly, it still turned out GREAT! This may be one of those "go to" recipes to use what ever you have on hand. Reviewers before me have raved as written and I'm here to say, no canned tomatoes, no worries! No cheddar cheese, Oh well. Only Costco turkey burgers in your freezer?? You'll be golden! Seriously! Thaw the poundage in patties, crumble and fry them up. A combo of shredded mozzarella/parmesan work fine as does left over creole sauce from the night before (basically green peppers, celery, tomato sauce and onion). I added the rest of the green pepper with some celery to make up the measurement. Where I could follow, I did: 1 can of soup, 2 C noodles and the fried onions (These I have?! That still puzzles me!). So long story short, you will be their favorite (friend, sister, auntie, mom, wife, lover, whatever...) with this casserole. BCR8TIV! Cheers!
I never use canned soup so I am unhappy when I see a recipe that sounds like something great to try that has canned soup as one of the main ingredients. How about giving an alternative list of ingredients for people like me who prefers not using all that sodium.
Thanks
You could make your own... a quick search found this for example: Make a thick roux (2 tb flour, 2tb butter) and add a can of evaporated milk and some mushroom stock (or any stock, really) and it would make for a tastier, fresher substitute.
