MomsMenu.com Recipe Finder Crusty Beef, Cheese and Noodle Casserole

This is one of my (and my family’s) favorite casseroles. When I’m asked to bring something to a pot-luck supper I usually bring this. It feeds a good number of people, everyone who’s tried it likes it, and the leftovers taste as good the next day. What more could you ask?
I don’t eat cooked green peppers, so any recipe that calls for them, I just omit them. I’ve never had any problems with the recipes by doing that.
