Country Casserole

Ingredients:


1 tablespoon olive oil
1 medium onion, chopped
1 pound ground beef
1 (16 oz.) package wide egg noodles
1 (10-3/4 oz.) can condensed tomato soup
1 (10-3/4 oz.) can condensed cream of mushroom soup
1 cup milk
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon pepper
1/2 teaspoon paprika


Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Coat a 3-quart casserole dish with nonstick cooking spray. In a large skillet, heat oil over medium heat and saute onion 2 to 3 minutes. Add ground beef and cook. In a large soup pot, cook noodles according to package directions; drain well and return noodles to pot. Stir in ground beef mixture and the remaining ingredients, except the paprika and mix well. Place into the prepared casserole dish and sprinkle with paprika. Cover and bake 25 to 30 minutes, or until heated through.


 **I serve either biscuits or bread and butter with a salad or a vegetable with this dinner. I always buy frozen vegetables. Usually the ones you microwave in the bag for $1 a piece. I find they are very convenient and serves more than a can would. If you have a large family, I would suggest the bags of frozen vegetables and cook them in the microwave with a little water in a covered bowl. It works as good as the steamable bags.
