Beef and Noodle Casserole

I got this recipe from a Taste of Home Casserole mini book that we received at the TOH Cooking Show in Sept. I have modified it a bit, but we LOVE this casserole, plus it's easy. What could be better??!!

1 1/2 lbs. ground beef

1 Tbl. butter

1 large onion

1 C. chopped green pepper (I did half green half red)

1 Tbl. Worcestershire sauce

1 Pkg. wide noodles, cooked and drained

2 cans condensed tomato soup

1 can cream of mushroom soup

1 C. shredded cheddar cheese

Now, I don't buy cream soups, as I always make my own. So, I sauteed up some mushrooms and made a cream sauce (just equal amounts of butter and flour, cook, and add milk until the right consistency) to add to the hot dish.

*In a large skillet, cook beef over medium heat until no longer pink, drain. In the same skillet, melt butter and saute onion and peppers until tender. Add beef, Worcestershire sauce, noodles and soups.

Transfer to a greased 3 qt. baking dish; top with cheese. Bake at 350 for 45 minutes or until heated through.
