Cooking Time: 45 minutes
Total Time: 1 hour
Servings: 6 servings

Ingredients:

1 onion 🧅
1 garlic cloves 🧄
3 green bell peppers 🫑
1 can (15 ounces) tomato sauce 🍅
1 pound ground hamburger 🥩
1 1/2 cups corn 🌽
1 can (2.25 ounces) pitted black olives, sliced 🫒
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese 🧀
8 ounces egg noodles 🍜

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Noodles:

Begin by cooking the egg noodles according to the package instructions until they are al dente. Drain and set aside.

2. Saute the Aromatics:

In a large skillet, heat some oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion, minced garlic cloves, and chopped green bell peppers. Saute until they are tender and fragrant, stirring occasionally.

3. Brown the Hamburger:

Once the vegetables are softened, add the ground hamburger to the skillet. Break it up with a spoon and cook until it is browned and cooked through. Drain any excess grease if necessary.

4. Combine the Ingredients:

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). In a 9 x 13 baking dish, layer the cooked egg noodles evenly on the bottom. Then, add the sauteed onion, garlic, and pepper mixture on top of the noodles. Next, pour the tomato sauce over the vegetable and hamburger mixture, followed by the corn and sliced black olives. Gently toss everything together until well combined.

5. Add the Cheese:

Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the top of the casserole, covering it completely with a generous layer of cheese.

6. Bake:

Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for about 10 to 15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly, and the casserole is heated through.

7. Serve and Enjoy!

Once the cheese is nicely melted and the casserole is hot and bubbly, remove it from the oven. Allow it to cool for a few minutes before serving. Serve your delicious Tagleroni Casserole hot, and watch as it disappears from the dinner table in no time!
