Description

Ground beef in tomato sauce is layered with cheese and creamy noodles in this quick satisfyingly rich and hearty casserole from the Pennsylvania Dutch country.

Ingredients

1 pound ground beef
1 (10 3/4 ounce) can condensed tomato soup
1/4 cup brown sugar
1/8 teaspoon black pepper
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 (10 3/4 ounce) can condensed cream of chicken soup
1 (12 ounce) package wide egg noodles
10 slices American cheese

Directions

1 Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
2 Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Add egg noodles and cook until tender, about 7 minutes. Drain and return to the pan. Mix in the cream of chicken soup until noodles are coated.
3 Crumble the ground beef into a large skillet over medium-high heat. Drain the grease, and stir in the tomato soup, brown sugar, pepper and salt. Spread half of the beef in the bottom of a greased 2 1/2 quart casserole dish. Arrange 5 slices of cheese over the beef. Top with half of the noodles, then repeat layers ending with cheese on top.
4 Bake for 35 minutes in the preheated oven, until cheese is browned and sauce is bubbly.
