Grandma’s Beef and Noodle Casserole

Sharing is caring!

This ground beef casserole with noodles was Grandma’s best creation – this was my one request for my birthday every year.

Ingredients:

  • 1 (12 ounce) package egg noodles
  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 1 green bell pepper, chopped
  • 1 large onion, chopped
  • 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 2 cups milk
  • 1 pinch salt and ground black pepper to taste
  • 1 ¼ cups grated Cheddar cheese, divided
  • 1 (6 ounce) can chopped olives
  • 1 (4 ounce) jar chopped pimento peppers

Directions:

Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C).

Fill a large pot with lightly salted water and bring to a rapid boil. Cook egg noodles at a boil until tender yet firm to the bite, 7 to 9 minutes.

Meanwhile, heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook and stir ground beef, bell pepper, and onion in the hot skillet until beef is browned and crumbly, 5 to 7 minutes. Stir flour into the drippings in the pan; slowly whisk in milk and season with salt and pepper. Stir in 1 cup Cheddar cheese, olives, and pimentos.

Drain noodles and fold into the beef mixture. Transfer to a casserole dish and cover with remaining cheese.

Bake in the preheated oven until bubbly and cheese is melted and browned, about 40 minutes.
