If I had to choose between making a ground beef casserole or Hamburger Helper; well the man in me definitely would go for the "hand with the red nose". We will get back to the ground beef casserole in a second; right now let's talk about the Helping Hand. Well the Helping Hand made its debut in 1977 (I was 5) and has been around ever since. Right now there are over 50 varieties of Helper meals.
Okay, back to the ground beef casserole.
Heat oven to 350 and spray a 11 x 13 dish with Pam
Ingredients
1 lb ground beef, 1 can cream of mushroom soup, 1 can cream of chicken soup, 4 0z wide egg noodles, 1/2 cup sweet milk, 1/4 cup of mayo, celery and bell pepper to taste.
Cook noodles and celery together and drain. Brown ground beef and bell pepper together the drain; add all ingredients to the mixture. Pour into baking dish and top w/ grated sharp cheese. Bake for 30 minutes.
Nancy said that this is one of her husband's (Al) favorites. Now Al is not here to confirm that so we will have to go on Nancy's word. Al would probably like to add that this is best served from the oven and not a microwave.
