California Casserole
- 1 lb. Ground Beef
- 1 onion, copped or minced
- 1 clove of garlic minced or 1 tsp. garlic salt
- 1 small can cream style corn
- 1 can tomato soup
- 1 can tomato paste
- 1 pepper, chopped (optional)
- 1 small pkg. noodles cooked per pkg. directions
- 1 1/2 cups grated cheddar cheese. (Save some cheese for top)
- Brown the ground beef adding the onion, garlic and green pepper (optional) towards end of browning Add remaining ingredients except for the noodles. Simmer for 5 minutes stirring occasionally. Combine with noodles and sprinkle with reserved cheese. Decorate with olives if desired. Bake at 350 degrees for 25 minutes.
- I think the recipe can be made all on top of the range if desired by simmering the sauce longer before adding to the noodles. Some of the cheese called for could decorate the top of the casserole by arranging small slices.
