Ingredients
  • 5 cups dry egg noodles, cooked
  • 1 lb 93% lean ground beef
  • 1 onion, diced
  • 1 green bell pepper, diced
  • ½ tsp salt and black pepper, to taste
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tsp Italian Seasoning
  • 1 (8 oz) can tomato sauce
  • 1 (14 oz) can Italian-style diced tomatoes
  • 1 cup frozen peas and carrots
  • ¾ cup frozen corn
  • 2 cups shredded cheddar jack cheese, divided
Instructions
  1. Bring a large pot of water to a rolling boil. Add egg noodles and cook according to directions; drain and set aside.
  2. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Spray a 13x9 baking dish with cooking spray.
  3. In a large, nonstick skillet cook the ground beef until no longer pink, breaking it up with a wooden spoon into crumbles. Add the onion, green pepper, salt, and pepper to the skillet and cook about 5-6 minutes or until vegetables are tender. Add the garlic and Italian seasoning; cook for 1 minute or until fragrant.
  4. Pour tomato sauce and diced tomatoes into the skillet and cook for 1-2 minutes, stirring well to combine ingredients.
  5. In the large pot used to cook the egg noodles, combine the noodles, beef mixture, peas and carrots, corn, and half the cheese; mix well and transfer to the prepared baking dish. Top with the remaining cheese and bake for 25 minutes.
  6. Serve warm, garnished with fresh parsley, if desired.
