A hearty, crowd-pleasing Italian main dish. It's easy to make and serve. I prefer to shred my cheese so that it is evenly distributed over the top.
Ingredients:
1 1/2 lbs bulk italian sausage
1 1/2 lbs ground beef
1 cup onion, chopped
1 cup green pepper, chopped
2 (15 ounce) cans tomato sauce
2 (6 ounce) cans tomato paste
1/2 cup water
1 teaspoon dried basil
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon pepper
1/8 teaspoon garlic powder
2 (8 3/4 ounce) cans whole kernel corn, drained
2 (2 1/4 ounce) cans sliced ripe olives, drained
1 (16 ounce) package wide egg noodles, cooked and drained
8 ounces cheddar cheese, cut into strips
Directions:
1. In a Dutch oven over medium heat, cook sausage, beef, onion and green pepper until meat is browned and vegetables are tender; drain.
2. Add tomato sauce and paste, water and seasonings; bring to a boil.
3. Reduce heat; cover and simmer for 15 minutes.
4. Add corn and olives; cover and simmer for 5 minutes. Stir in noodles.
5. Pour into two greased 13-in. x 9-in. x 2-in. baking dishes.
6. Top with cheese.
7. Cover and bake at 350 for 25- 30 minutes or until heated through.
8. Yield: 16-20 servings.
