Ingredients

Directions

  1. Preheat your oven to 275°F (135°C).
  2. In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the chopped onions, bell pepper, and minced garlic. Sauté until the vegetables are soft and translucent, about 5-7 minutes.
  3. Add the ground beef to the skillet. Cook, breaking up the meat with a spoon, until it is browned and fully cooked through.
  4. Drain any excess fat from the skillet. Stir in the chili seasoning mix, sliced mushrooms, and cook for another minute to combine flavors.
  5. Meanwhile, cook the egg noodles in a large pot of salted boiling water according to package directions until tender. Drain well in a colander.
  6. Lightly grease a 3-quart casserole dish with oil. Place the drained noodles into the prepared dish.
  7. Spread the beef and vegetable mixture evenly over the noodles.
  8. Distribute the corn niblets and sliced black olives over the top of the beef mixture.
  9. Sprinkle the grated sharp cheddar cheese evenly over the entire casserole.
  10. Bake at 275°F (135°C) for 1 hour, or until the cheese is melted and the edges are bubbly. Let stand for 5 minutes before serving.
