We love a good casserole....

I start with chopped 

onions

celery

green peppers...I used ANAHEIM as we like these much more than a bell pepper.

Saute these in a light olive oil until tender.

While the veggies are cooking,

add your choice of noodles to hot water and cook until tender.

I like using the YOLKLESS EGG NOODLES.

After the veggies are tender,

add 1 lb. of LEAN ground beef.

I HATE big lumps of meat when I am scrambling hamburger meat,

so, using a REDNECK way to cut this meat apart, I use my PASTRY BLENDER....

works like a charm !

Blend in spices that YOU like..

I use seasoned salt..

garlic..

salt/pepper

cooking sherry

a little soy sauce..

just what looks good to me at the time.

I always add tomatoes...

either canned..fresh...or even tomato soup.
If my meat seems too dry at this point,
I often add beef broth.

Once the meat mixture is done, add to the cooked noodles.

We are cutting down on the use of CHEESE...
so, most of the time, I just sprinkle fresh Parmesan on the individual serving.

A good   crusty bread...

 a fresh GARDEN SALAD with a KILLER dressing
...and maybe a wonderful glass of good wine,

added to the menu of
COMPANY BEEF CASSEROLE

makes a very delightful meal.

So, set your table in your favorite way....

and serve a LUSCIOUS  but EASY dessert
and you have a meal
FIT FOR A KING
with very little time spent in the kitchen.
