It’s been so long since I’ve posted! Like crazy long! Life got in the way like it can so easily do when you have two littles, a hubby, a home to run…..and all the other stuff that can steal our time, energy and motivation if we aren’t careful.
It’s almost halfway through February but kind of feels like we just got winter underway. I’m grateful for that since I’ve been trying to make getting outside daily for a walk a priority. So much easier when the weather is nice and not too cold and blustery.

I’ve been making lots of comfort food for my family over the fall and winter and one that always stands out is this recipe my Grammie used to make. My Mom has made it for years and now I make it for my family. It’s real comfort food. Noodles, tomato sauce, beef and cheese all baked together for a hearty and soul comforting casserole. It’s so easy to put together and is always a hit. I think what makes it different from a lot of other ground beef casseroles out there is the addition of consommé. I’ve attempted to make it with beef stock and it just honestly isn’t the same at all. You really need the concentrated and rich flavour that the consommé can offer to make this recipe shine. My favourite thing about this recipe is it’s mostly done in one big pan or Dutch oven. The only other pot you’ll dirty is the one to cook the egg noodles. I often serve this on it’s own but it’s a great dish to serve with a Caesar salad or a tossed salad on the side and a piece of garlic bread. Yum! My mouth is watering just talking about this! Here’s the recipe.
Ingredients
- 1 package broad egg noodles cooked according to package directions
- 1 onion chopped
- 1 lb ground beef
- 1 can consommé soup
- 1 large can tomato sauce
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1/2 tsp oregano
- 1/2 tsp thyme
- ½ cup Mozzarella cheddar or marble cheese, grated
Instructions
- Fry together, add cooked egg noodles. Put cheese on top (I use 1-2 cups) and brown in 350 degree oven for 20 minutes.
