Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 tbsp unsalted butter or neutral oil
  • 1 lb ground beef (80/20 lean)
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper
  • 1 can (15 oz) whole kernel corn, drained
  • 1 can (10.5 oz) condensed tomato soup
  • 2 cups uncooked wide egg noodles
  • 1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese

Method
 

  1. Heat butter in a large skillet over medium-high. Brown beef with salt and pepper, 6 to 8 minutes. Drain fat and set aside.
  2. Cook noodles in salted boiling water until barely tender, about 6 minutes. Drain.
  3. Combine beef, corn, tomato soup, and noodles in the skillet. Stir to coat, then adjust salt and pepper.
  4. Spread mixture into a greased 9x13-inch dish, top with cheese, and bake at 350°F for 20 to 25 minutes until bubbly and golden. Rest 5 minutes, then serve.

Notes

Let the casserole rest for 5 minutes after baking so the slices hold together. The tomato soup does double duty as sauce and seasoning, so you don’t need to add any extra liquid.
