Main Ingredients
  • 1 lb ground beef Use lean beef for a lighter option.
  • 1 medium onion (chopped)
  • 1 cup carrots (sliced)
  • 1 cup celery (sliced)
  • 1 cup frozen peas
  • 2 cups egg noodles (cooked) Can substitute with whole-grain noodles.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.
  2. Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add the ground beef and chopped onion, cooking until the beef is browned and fully cooked, breaking it apart with a spoon as it cooks.
  3. Stir in the sliced carrots, celery, and frozen peas. Cook for a few minutes until the vegetables begin to soften.
  4. Add the cooked egg noodles to the skillet. Pour in the cream of mushroom soup and milk, stirring until everything is evenly combined.
  5. Mix in 1/2 cup of the shredded cheddar cheese and stir until melted and incorporated into the mixture.
  6. Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking dish and spread it evenly. Sprinkle the remaining 1/2 cup of shredded cheddar cheese over the top.
Baking
  1. Bake for 25–30 minutes, or until the cheese is golden and bubbly around the edges.
  2. Let the casserole rest for a few minutes before serving to help it set. Serve warm.

Notes

For healthy options, consider using lean turkey, whole-grain noodles, or adding more vegetables. Leftovers can be stored in the fridge for 3–4 days or frozen for up to 2 months.
