Beef Egg Noodle Casserole

A delicious casserole to prepare for dinner is the beef egg noodle casserole. This beefy and cheesy casserole consists of ground beef mixed with tomato sauce and egg noodles and topped with cheddar cheese. A lot of recipes call for diced tomatoes and you can add them as well but I like to make this without diced tomatoes. The casserole gets a lot of flavor from onion, garlic and Italian seasoning.  This casserole is very easy to prepare and can be on the table in well under an hour. I like to serve it with garlic bread.
