Cheddar Beef and Noodle Casserole


Serves 8

1 pkg (8oz) noodles, cooked & drained
1 ½ pounds mince or ground beef, lean
1 medium onion, chopped
1 jar (15oz) spaghetti sauce
1 tin Cheddar cheese soup, (10 3/4 oz)
1 tin puree or tomato sauce, (8 oz)
1 tin or jar sliced mushrooms, (4 oz)
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
pepper, to taste
2 cups shredded Cheddar cheese

In a large frying pan, brown mince or ground beef with chopped onion; drain well. Stir in spaghetti sauce, soup, tomato sauce, mushrooms, garlic powder, salt and pepper. Simmer for 3 to 4 minutes. Combine beef mixture with cooked noodles; pour into a 3-quart baking dish (may use 13- by 9-inch baking tin). Cover and bake at 350 degrees for 35 to 40 minutes, or until bubbly.

 Uncover; sprinkle with cheese, and bake just until cheese is melted.
