Substitutions and Additions for Beef Noodle Casserole

PEPPERS: Green peppers are optional in this ground beef casserole if your family doesn’t like them.

GREEN ONIONS: You can top your ground beef noodle casserole with sliced green onions as well.

CHEESE: You can use all cheddar cheese instead of the mix of mozzarella and cheddar if you want for these beef noodles.

TOMATOES: If you don’t have flavored diced tomatoes, just use plain diced tomatoes and add a little bit more Italian seasoning.

How To Make This Beef And Noodle Casserole Recipe

Once you cook the noodles and ground beef, you can assemble the casserole in your dish and bake it to perfection.

Here’s how you make this comfort food dish.

    Delish! This recipe was a great base for me to sub in my own ingredients (lentils instead of meat for cost savings, whole wheat rotini for pasta because that’s what I want to use…). Very filling and homey meal.
