Grandma's beef noodle casserole: hearty mix of veggies, ground beef, egg noodles, and gooey cheddar topping.
Ingredients:
  • 1 tablespoon plus 1 /2 teaspoon kosher salt, divided, plus more to taste
  • 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 medium white onion, chopped (1 1/2 cups)
  • 1 bell pepper, seeded, ribs removed, finely chopped, about 1 cup
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced, about 1 tablespoon
  • 1 (28 ounce) can whole peeled or crushed tomatoes
  • 1 1/2 pounds ground beef
  • 4 ounces mushrooms, sliced
  • 12 ounces egg noodles
  • 1 1/2 cups frozen corn, defrosted
  • 1 (15 ounce) can of black olives, strained and chopped
  • 8 ounces cheddar cheese, grated
Instructions:
  • Preheat the oven to 350°F. In a large pot, add 1 tablespoon of salt to 2 quarts of water and bring to a boil for cooking the egg noodles.
  • Prepare the tomato sauce: In a large, heavy-bottomed pot or skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of oil over medium-high heat. Sauté the onions and bell pepper until softened, about 4 minutes. Stir in garlic and cook for an additional minute. Add tomatoes, breaking them up with your fingers or a knife if using whole canned tomatoes. Bring to a simmer and let it cook for 10 minutes. Reduce heat to low and keep warm.
  • Heat oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Brown ground beef in batches without stirring, about 1-2 minutes per side. Season with 1/2 teaspoon of salt while cooking. Transfer the browned beef to the tomato onion mixture.
  • Cook the mushrooms in the rich beef drippings in the pan used earlier until nicely browned, then combine them with the beef and tomato mixture.
  • Add the egg noodle pasta to boiling water and cook for 4-5 minutes until al dente.
  • Combine in the casserole dish: Mix the cooked egg noodles with the tomato beef mixture, corn, chopped olives, and most of the cheese.
  • Sprinkle the rest of the cheese over the casserole and bake it uncovered in a preheated 350°F oven for 30 minutes.
