Steps:
- Fill a large pot with lightly salted water and bring to a rolling boil over high heat. Once the water is boiling, stir in the egg noodles, and return to a boil. Cook the pasta uncovered, stirring occasionally, until the noodles have cooked through, but are still firm to the bite, about 5 minutes. Drain well in a colander set in the sink.
- Preheat an oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Spray a 9x13-inch baking pan with cooking spray.
- Melt the butter in a skillet over medium heat. Stir in the onion, celery, carrots, and red bell pepper; cook and stir until the onion has softened and turned translucent, about 5 minutes. Stir in the noodles, cream of chicken soup, sour cream, Cheddar cheese, corn, and cooked pork, then season with salt and black pepper. Transfer mixture into the prepared baking dish. Sprinkle bread crumbs on top.
- Bake in the preheated oven until bubbly, 30 to 35 minutes.

DELICIOUS PORK AND NOODLES
This is the simplest pork and noodles recipe I know. It takes only 5 ingredients - two of which are salt and pepper. My kids LOVE this!! You'll be amazed at how good this is. I cook the meat in my crockpot, but my mom has always done it on the stovetop. I never believed her when she said it was flavored basically with salt, pepper and beef broth. I thought I was so smart and added spices and garlic, but I found that nothing I tried was as good as her version. As they say, mother knows best....uuggghhh!

Steps:
- Sprinkle all sides of your pork loin liberally with salt and pepper.
- Spray inside of crockpot with spray cooking oil (I do this because it makes cleaning the crock so much easier).
- Place pork in crockpot along with about 1/4 cup of water and cook on low all day or high for about 3-4 hours (cooking time varies according to your crockpot and the size of your pork loin -- if it is large and I need it to be done faster, I will cut the loin into smaller chunks). You will know when it is done, when you can shred it with a fork.
- About 15-20 minutes before I want to serve, in a pot on the stove, I bring the cans of broth to just the point of boiling and then I add the bag of noodles and cook basically according to the directions on the package. Hopefully, most of the liquid will be absorded, if any is left, you might want to drain it off. For this dish, the noodles should NOT be soupy.
- While the noodles are cooking, remove your pork loin from the crockpot and gently shred the pork. We like it not to be stringy and not to have chunks that are too big. Just nice bite sized pieces.
- When the noodles are done, add the pork to the pot of noodles and stir so pork is distributed throughout. If pork wasn't warm when you added it, let the noodles/pork reheat. Taste - if bland, you'll need to add more salt and pepper.
- Serve with warm bread and a salad. Nice comfort food.
- NOTE - my mom cooks the pork on the stove in a pot. After salt/peppering the pork, I think she browns all sides of the loin and then turns down to low and cooks for 2-3 hours - with a little water or broth in the bottom of the pan. Then she removes the pork to be shredded and in the same pot cooks her noodles and then adds pork back.
- TIP - if you aren't worried about watching fat, add the juice/drippings that are in the bottom of the crockpot to the cans of broth - the drippings add an extra depth to the flavor of the dish!
- NOTE - if your pork loin is on the small side (closer to 1 pound), you will want to use less noodles and less broth. You should be able to get pork with every bite of noodles.
Tips:
- Choose the right noodles: Use fresh egg noodles for the best texture and flavor. If you can't find fresh egg noodles, dried egg noodles or ramen noodles can be substituted.
- Use high-quality pork: Use pork loin or pork tenderloin for a leaner dish. If you prefer a more flavorful dish, use pork shoulder or pork butt.
- Marinate the pork: Marinating the pork in a mixture of soy sauce, rice wine, and spices helps to tenderize the meat and infuse it with flavor.
- Cook the noodles al dente: Cook the noodles according to the package directions, but be sure to remove them from the boiling water just before they are fully cooked. This will help to prevent them from becoming mushy.
- Use a large skillet or wok: A large skillet or wok will help to ensure that the noodles and pork cook evenly.
- Stir-fry the pork and noodles together: Stir-fry the pork and noodles together until the pork is cooked through and the noodles are heated through.
- Add vegetables: Add your favorite vegetables to the stir-fry, such as broccoli, carrots, or bell peppers.
- Season to taste: Season the stir-fry with soy sauce, rice vinegar, and sesame oil to taste.
