Cheese and Noodle Casserole image

Today was our first real snow of the year in Northern Indiana. Very late this year. It made me hungry for this casserole which is an old recipe (from before 1950) that is just plain comfort food. Made with home made noodles it is ambrosia. If you use store bought noodles it is just really GOOD!
