From the recipe collection of Tara Ippolito

Cheesy beef noodle casserole is such a great comfort food meal.

My family loves when I make this on cool fall and winter nights especially.

There’s just something about a nice big bowl of cheesy, beefy egg noodles that really hits the spot.

Even my two picky little boys love this easy to make recipe.

The ingredients are simple and I usually have most of them on hand in my pantry.

Delicious, no fuss recipes like this one always get a permanent spot on my dinner menu rotation.

Plus, I love how many servings this recipe makes. We almost always have leftovers to enjoy for a day or two after.

It’s the perfect meal to throw together on a busy weeknight for my family.

I hope you give this recipe a try. If you do, I know you’ll love it just as much as my family and I do.

Fast. Simple. Delicious.

Cheesy Beef Noodle Casserole Variations

I love this recipe made just the way it is, but here are some ways to change it up if you’d like to.

• Meat- ground chicken or turkey can be used as a substitution for the beef.
• Pasta- Penne, bow tie or any pasta that’s not thin and long like spaghetti can be substituted for the egg noodles.
• Cheese- Make this dish extra cheesy by stirring some into the beef and noodles along with adding some to the top. The choice of cheese is yours. So choose whatever you’d like. Just be sure to shred it yourself and avoid the preshredded stuff that comes in a bag. It will melt way better that way.
