SPANISH NOODLE CASSEROLE

I tore this recipe out of our state newspaper years and years ago, and it finally worked its way into my attention span. I don't know what is Spanish about it (except the onion), but I do know it is a really good casserole that is easy to make. It can be made ahead and frozen. It can be halved, doubled or tripled without hurting it, and it is really tasty. The heat can be adjusted according to your taste. Oh, yes, a real kid's favorite, too.

SPANISH EGG CASSEROLE

This may sound alittle strange with the hard boiled eggs -- which aren't a particular favorite of mine. But it's a very tasty casserole. Great to take to a potluck dinner. FYI, the husband doesn't like green peppers so I replaced with 1/2 cup sliced olives.

SPANISH NOODLE SUPPER



Spanish Noodle Supper image

This simple recipe quickly became a favorite at our house. It's a quick, easy, one-pot-wonder, and surprisingly flavorful. And, who doesn't love bacon?! :D

Provided by Tam D

Categories     Casseroles

Time 35m

Number Of Ingredients 12

6 slice bacon
1 onion
1 lb ground beef
2 tsp beef base or bouillon
1 can(s) mexican style stewed tomatoes
8 oz tomato sauce
1/2 tsp ground oregano
1 tsp salt
1/2 tsp pepper
2 c water, approx.
1 pkg egg noodles (12 oz)*
2 c shredded cheddar cheese, divided

Steps:

  • 1. Cut the bacon into 1" pieces, and fry in a dutch oven, over medium heat, until crisp. Remove bacon pieces from the skillet and set aside.
  • 2. While the bacon is crisping, chop the onion. Cook onion in bacon drippings until softened and yellow.
  • 3. Add ground beef to the pot, breaking it up with your spoon. Cook until there's no more pink in the meat.
  • 4. While the meat is cooking stir in the beef base. Then add the oregano, salt, and pepper.
  • 5. Stir in the tomato sauce and the stewed tomatoes, breaking up the chunks in your hand as they go into the pot.
  • 6. Stir in the water. Heat to bubbling, cover, reduce heat to low and simmer 10-15 minutes.
  • 7. Distribute the noodles evenly over the top of the meat mixture in the pot. Increase heat to med-low. Cover, and simmer another 10-12 minutes until the noodles are done, stirring occasionally. (Add a little more water if necessary.)
  • 8. Just before serving, stir in half of the cheese, then the bacon pieces. Garnish each serving with a tablespoon or two of the remaining cheese.
  • 9. NOTES: If you like, chopped green pepper may be cooked with the onion, but we're not fans, so I don't. You may use a can of beef broth in place of the water and beef base, if you prefer. *This recipe is easily made gluten free by substituting gluten-free pasta for the egg noodles. I ONLY use Tinkyada brand, and I think the brown rice fusilli works best in this recipe.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality ingredients: Fresh vegetables, flavorful cheese, and a rich tomato sauce will make all the difference in this dish.
  • Don't overcook the noodles: They should be al dente, with a slight bite to them.
  • Use a variety of vegetables: This will add color, texture, and flavor to the casserole.
  • Don't be afraid to experiment with different cheeses: A combination of mozzarella, cheddar, and Parmesan is a classic, but you can also try other types of cheese, such as feta, goat cheese, or Manchego.
  • Make sure the tomato sauce is flavorful: Use a good quality canned tomato sauce or make your own from scratch. Season it with garlic, onion, oregano, basil, and salt and pepper to taste.
  • Bake the casserole until it's golden brown and bubbly: This will ensure that the cheese is melted and the casserole is heated through.

Conclusion:

Spanish noodle casserole is a quick, easy, and delicious meal that can be served as either a main course or a side dish and which can be enjoyed all year round. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can have a hearty and flavorful casserole that the whole family will love.
