Ingredients

Original recipe (1X) yields 8 servings

  • 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

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

  2. 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.

  3. 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.

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

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

Cook's Note:

You can use any kind of grated cheese you prefer.
