Ingredients

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

Directions

Preheat oven to 350°. 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 2 greased 8-in. square baking dishes.
Toss bread crumbs and butter; sprinkle over casseroles. Bake, uncovered, 35-40 minutes or until bubbly and golden brown.

Can you freeze Favorite Hamburger Noodle Bake?

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 350°. 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 165°. Uncover; bake 10-15 minutes longer or until golden brown.

Soft Bread Crumbs

To make soft bread crumbs, tear bread into pieces and place in a food processor or blender. Cover and pulse until crumbs form. One slice of bread yields 1/2 to 3/4 cup crumbs.
