Spanish Delight

A quick and easy meal to prepare that does not take a lot of work. It is very economical and will feed a family on a budget.

Ingredients

6 oz. pkg. narrow noodles
1 1/2 lbs. ground beef
1 to 2 onions, chopped
1 to 2 sweet peppers, chopped
1 can tomato paste
1 can cream style corn
2 Tbs. chili sauce
1 large can mushrooms
1/2 lb. cheddar cheese, shredded or sliced
salt and pepper

Directions

Preheat oven to 300°.

Fill a large pot with water.  Add about a 1/2  to 1 teaspoon of salt to the water. Bring the water to a boil and cook the noodles according to package directions.

In a heavy cast iron skillet, cook the hamburger, onions and pepper until the hamburger is no longer pink and the vegetables are tender.  Drain off excess grease or fat.

Add tomato paste, cream style corn, chili sauce, and mushrooms. Stir in the cooked noodles. Taste the meal and add salt and pepper.  I usually leave the meal right in the skillet, and bake it in the oven. But you can transfer the meal to a casserole dish.

Top with cheese.

Bake for 1 hour. 

This meal can also be made ahead of time and frozen.  If you freeze this dish to serve at a later date, you'll want to bake this for 2 1/2 hours.
