What a great meal. I used fine Inn Maid noodles and they were great in kittencal's dish. My husband loved this and so did I. No surprise, her recipes are always good. I'm going to try this one out on 3 grandchildren tonight. keep shaing Kittencal.

This casserole was really great, the sweet and spicy flavor hit the spot. I halved it with great success. Since I didn't want half a can of tomato soup and sauce laying around I just used the whole can of soup and omitted the sauce. Also left out the green peppers and pimentos as a personal preference but it was still yummy and easy to put together. I used some fresh mushrooms I had and could have added more since they shrink more than canned.

Kittencal, this was a delicious casserole. The cream corn added such a wonderful sweet flavor. I was going to halve the recipe because there are only two of us, but in the middle of making the sauce I realized it wasn't halved. Oh well, I will have wonderful lunches to come. I will freeze the leftover in smaller containers. So the only thing I changed in the recipe was to leave out the jalapeno peppers, cause DD would of found it too hot spicy, and I used red peppers because that is what was in the fridge that needed to be used. I also used half mozzarella and half cheddar which was a nice blend. I did use the 8 oz of medium egg noodles and found it was perfect for the amount of sauce. We both really enjoyed this tremendously....another fantastic recipe, thank you Kittencal

This is a very filling casserole. I did add about 1/2 cup frozen whole kernel corn. The other thing I did was cook the whole 12 ounce bag of noodles. I was glad I did as there is so much meat mixture that 4 more ounces of noodles helped even out things. I will make this again. Thank you for posting. Made for *1 2 3 Hit Wonders* game 2007
