Super easy and makes a lot - great for leftovers. My mom always made this great casserole for family picnics and potlucks. Everyone loved it, but my dad's brother was a fanatic! I believe this casserole was originally based on a Spanish dish. My mom's recipe called for black olives, but she never used them nor do I.

Time 1h

Yield 10-12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 1/2 lbs ground beef
1 large onion
1/2 lb egg noodles
2 (12 ounce) cans whole kernel corn
2 (18 ounce) cans stewed tomatoes
1/3 lb Velveeta cheese

Steps:

  • Brown ground beef with chopped onion until beef is thoroughly cooked and onion is soft and translucent. Drain fat.
  • Place DRY noodles in bottom of 9x13 pan.
  • Spread ground beef mixture evenly across the noodles.
  • Drain 2 cans of corn and spread in pan on top of ground beef.
  • Open tomatoes, but DO NOT drain. Layer in pan evenly, breaking tomatoes up slightly so that the tomatoes are evenly dispersed.
  • Cut Velveeta cheese into 8 thick slices and layer on top of casserole. You can substitute other processed cheese loaf-type cheese, but be aware that some do not melt well on this casserole, so I always use Velveeta.
  • Bake 45-60 minutes at 350 degrees (no need to preheat oven) until cheese is melted and brown.
  • Noodles will be cooked and soft - infused with the flavors of the ingredients. Enjoy!
