Another recipe I found online a couple years ago, it was labeled as an Amish recipe. There are no Amish around me to ask, so I don't know, but soon I'll visit those that live near Mom and ask one of the women. I do think it's a very tasty dish, and one that everyone here loves - including the picky little girl! Enjoy!
1 lb. ground beef
1 chopped onion
1 T minced garlic
3/4 C chopped celery or green pepper
1/4 C shredded cheddar
12 oz. uncooked egg noodles
14.5 oz. stewed diced tomatoes
10 3/4 oz. cream of chicken soup
salt & pepper to taste
Place noodles in lightly salted, boiling water. Cook al dente (about 8 minutes); drain and set aside. Preheat oven to 350*F. Cook beef, onion, celery/pepper and garlic in skillet on medium until the meat is evenly browned. Drain excess grease. Butter a 9x13 baking dish. Place half the cooked noodles on bottom; cover with half the meat mix, then half the tomatoes. Spoon half the soup over tomatoes and sprinkle with cheese. Repeat with the remaining ingredient mix, ending with cheese on top. Bake one hour or until cheese is brown and bubbly. Let stand 10 minutes before serving.
