Ingredients:

• 1 medium yellow onion, chopped
• 1 medium green bell pepper, chopped
• 1 package (12 oz) of egg noodles
• 1 lb ground beef
• 1 can (10.75 oz) condensed tomato soup
• 1 can (10.75 oz) cream of mushroom soup
• 1 cup of milk
• 1 tsp garlic powder
• 1/2 tsp ground black pepper
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 2 tsp Worcestershire sauce
• 1/2 cup parmesan cheese, shredded
• 1 cup cheddar cheese, shredded
• fresh chopped parsley, for garnish

Directions:

Step 1

To start, preheat your oven to 350 degrees F and grease a 9 x 13 casserole dish with non-stick cooking spray. Set it aside. Next, cook the egg noodles according to the package directions. In the meantime, heat another heavy-bottomed pot and brown the ground beef. While cooking the ground beef, add the chopped bell pepper and onion and continue to saute until everything is cooked. Drain all the excess grease and season with 1 tsp garlic powder, 1/2 tsp ground black pepper, and 1/2 tsp salt. Once everything is mixed, turn off the burner and stir in 1 can of tomato soup, 1 can of cream of mushroom, and 1 cup of milk. Drizzle in 2 tsp Worcestershire sauce, then add 1/2 cup parmesan cheese.

Step 2

Mix well until combined, then add the cooked egg noodles. (Taste test at this point and season as desired). Now, transfer the egg noodles mixture onto the prepared casserole dish, cover it with aluminum foil, and bake it in the preheated 350 degrees F oven for 20 to 25 minutes. After baking remove the cover and add 1 cup cheddar cheese, and put it back in the oven, baking for a further five to ten minutes until the cheese is melted. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley and serve.
