I found this in a Taste of Home magazine awhile back and it's become a yummy staple in our house! I was nervous about making it the first time - the beans in the recipe sounded like a weird ingredient paired with all the others - but ALL the ingredients blend and work so perfectly together. Enjoy!

DEB'S ITALIAN NOODLE CASSEROLE

My sister gave this recipe to me and it is wonderful. I usually cook a big meal for our family around the holidays and this was the recipe I chose last year. It feeds a crowd and everyone loved it. Throw in a salad and a loaf of garlic bread and you've got a fantastic meal. This is NOT a diet meal! :o) NEW NOTE: In an effort to get the fat OUT of some of my fav recipes, I made this today with all light ingredients and with whole grain egg noodles. It was fantastic! We didn't miss the fat at all!
