Favorite Hamburger Noodle Bake

• 5 cups uncooked egg noodles
• 2 pounds ground beef
• 1 cup chopped onion
• 1/2 cup chopped green pepper
• 2 cans (10-3/4 ounces each) condensed tomato soup, undiluted
• 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
• 1-1/2 cups water
• 1/2 cup chili sauce
• 1-1/2 cups soft bread crumbs
• 3 tablespoons butter, melted

1. Preheat oven to 350u0b0. Cook noodles according to package directions until al dente; drain. In a large skillet, cook the beef, onion and green pepper over medium-high heat for 10-12 minutes or until meat is no longer pink; drain. Stir in the noodles, soup, cheese, water and chili sauce. Transfer to two greased 8-in. square baking dishes.
2. Toss bread crumbs and butter; sprinkle over casseroles. Bake, uncovered, 35-40 minutes or until bubbly and golden brown.
3. Cool unbaked casseroles; cover and freeze up to 3 months. To use, partially thaw in refrigerator overnight. Remove from refrigerator 30 minutes before baking. Preheat oven to 350u0b0. Cover casserole with foil; bake as directed, increasing covered time to 45-50 minutes or until heated through and a thermometer inserted in center reads 165u0b0. Uncover; bake 10-15 minutes longer or until golden brown.
