Corn gives this dish a mildly sweet flavor that folks find appealing. When cooking for two, I divide the ingredients into smaller dishes for fast meals in the future.

Ingredients

  • 1-1/2 pounds bulk pork sausage
  • 1 medium green pepper, chopped
  • 1 medium onion, chopped
  • 4 tablespoons butter, divided
  • 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon white pepper
  • 1-1/2 cups milk
  • 1 can (14-3/4 ounces) cream-style corn
  • 3-1/2 cups (10 ounces) egg noodles, cooked and drained
  • 1/4 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1/2 cup dry bread crumbs

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 325°. In a large skillet, cook the sausage, green pepper and onion over medium heat until sausage is no longer pink; drain and set aside.
  2. In a large saucepan, melt 3 tablespoons butter over medium heat. Stir in the flour, salt and pepper. Gradually add milk. Bring to a boil; cook and stir 2 minutes or until thickened. Stir in corn. Add noodles and corn mixture to the sausage mixture. Fold in cheese.
  3. Transfer to a greased 13x9-in. baking dish. Melt remaining butter; stir in bread crumbs. Sprinkle over casserole. Bake, uncovered, 30-40 minutes or until heated through.
