Ingredients

1-1/2 pounds ground beef

1 tablespoon butter

1 large onion, chopped

1 cup chopped green pepper

1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce

6-1/4 cups uncooked wide egg noodles, cooked and drained

2 cans (10-3/4 ounces each) condensed tomato soup, undiluted

1 can (10-1/2 ounces) condensed cream of mushroom soup, undiluted

1 cup shredded cheddar cheese

Sliced green onions, optional

Instructions

1 Brown the beef

2 Preheat the oven to 350°F. Grease a 3-quart baking dish. Crumble the ground beef into a large skillet, and brown it over medium heat for 8 to 10 minutes, until no pink remains. Drain off any excess grease, and move the meat to a plate. Editor's Tip: You can use a round or oval baking dish or a 13x9-inch baking pan or baking dish.

3 Add the other ingredients

4 Melt the butter in the same skillet. Add the onion and green pepper. Cook over medium heat for five to seven minutes, until they become tender. Stir the cooked beef back into the skillet, along with the Worcestershire sauce, egg noodles, tomato soup and cream of mushroom soup. Editor's Tip: Taste the mixture before the next step. While the Worcestershire sauce and soups will add some salt, this is your chance to add more if needed, plus other spices like black pepper and garlic powder for extra seasoning.

5 Bake the casserole

6 Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking dish, and top with the cheese. Bake, uncovered, for 15 to 20 minutes, until it's heated through and the cheese is melted. If desired, garnish with green onions. Serve.
