A casserole is an easy meal to fix and makes for comforting
food on a cool winter day. Just have a salad or some veggies and some bread and
butter and it’s an easy meal to fix. I had some shredded cheese that needed
used so I bought a pound of ground chuck at my butchers; all I needed was a
recipe. I found this one for Beef and cheddar at Food Network by the Food
Network Kitchen. It also used some wide
egg noodles I had on hand and sounded good to me.
I had a loaf of good take home and bake bread so I baked
that before starting the casserole. I like to bake my own bread but when I can
get a loaf already made and just bake it for about 10 minutes and it’s as good
as I can do from scratch it’s just too easy!
I got my noodles boiling and cooked them about 4:45 and by
6:10 I had this on the table. While the casserole was baking my wife made up a
mixed Romaine salad for us. Our son had to work so we had the grandson for
supper and the DIL ate when she got here from work.
The shredded cheese I had was two different Mexican mixes
and a little cheddar. After eating it I think about any kind of cheese would
work with this. Since I was using ground chuck 80-20 mix I removed some of the
grease but left some for flavor. I am beginning to love the Penzey’s 4S salt
but I use it sparingly since it is heavy in salt. I sprinkled some on top and
the red from the smoked paprika in it gave it a nice color. I had blue cheese dressing and French fried onions on my salad.
