Title: Talerine Beef Casserole
Categories: Beef, Casserole, Pasta
Yield: 8 Servings

12 oz Bag egg noodles
1 md White onion; peeled, chopped
1 Bell pepper; seeded, chopped
- fine
3 cl Garlic; minced
Oil for sauteing
1 1/2 lb Ground beef chuck
Salt
4 oz Mushrooms; sliced
28 oz Can tomatoes
1 1/2 c Canned corn; or frozen
15 oz Can black olives; drained,
- chopped
1 lb Cheddar cheese; grated

Set the oven @ 350ºF/175ºC and bring a large pot of
salted water to a boil for the egg noodles.

Heat 2 Tb oil on medium high heat in a large, heavy
bottomed pot. Add the onions and bell pepper and saute
until softened. Add garlic and cook for a minute more.

Add the tomatoes, breaking them up with your fingers or
a knife, if you are using whole canned tomatoes. Bring
to a simmer and let cook for 10 minutes. Lower the heat
to warm.

In a separate skillet, heat to medium-high. Add a couple
tablespoons oil to the pan and brown the meat, working
in batches. Break up about half of the ground beef into
the pan. Do not stir, but let sit and cook for a minute
or two until brown. Sprinkle a little salt over the meat
while cooking.

Once brown on one side, stir the meat a little to get
the other sides browned.

Once the meat is thoroughly browned, use a slotted spoon
to remove the meat from the pan and put it in with the
tomatoes, onions, and peppers.

Brown the second batch of ground beef the same way.

Using the same pan that you had used for browning the
beef, saute the mushrooms in the remaining oil and beef
drippings. Once browned, add the mushrooms to the beef
and tomato mixture.

While the mushrooms are cooking, add the egg noodle
pasta to the boiling water.

Cook as directed, about 4-5 minutes. Drain when cooked,
but still a little firm (al dente).

Add egg noodles, corn, chopped olives, and about 2/3 of
the cheese to the large pot of beef and tomato mixture.
Gently mix in.

Transfer mixture to a large casserole dish, or to two
casserole dishes if you don't have one that is large
enough. Sprinkle remaining cheese on top of casserole.
Place in the oven. Cook for 30 minutes (can go as long
as an hour).

Serves 8.
