Pennsylvania Dutch Beef and Noodle Bake
  1. 1

    Heat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

  2. 2

    Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Add egg noodles and cook until tender, about 7 minutes. Drain and return them to the pan, then stir in the cream of chicken soup until the noodles are coated.

  3. 3

    Crumble the ground beef into a large skillet over medium-high heat. Drain the grease, then stir in the tomato soup, brown sugar, pepper, and salt. Spread half of the beef in the bottom of a greased 2 1/2 quart casserole dish. Lay 5 slices of cheese over the beef. Add half of the noodles on top, then repeat the layers, finishing with cheese on top.

  4. 4

    Bake in the preheated oven for 35 minutes, until the cheese is browned and the sauce is bubbly.
