Directions
-
Preheat oven to 350ðF (175ðC).

In a large skillet over medium-high heat, cook the ground hamburger with salt, pepper, brown sugar, and chopped onion until meat is browned and onion is softened, about 7-8 minutes. Drain excess fat if desired.
-
Stir the undiluted condensed tomato soup into the beef mixture. Simmer for 2-3 minutes until thickened slightly.
-
Meanwhile, cook egg noodles according to package directions until al dente. Drain well.
-
In a separate bowl, toss the drained hot noodles with the undiluted condensed cream of chicken soup until evenly coated.
-
In a 2-quart casserole dish, spread half of the beef mixture on the bottom.
-
Layer half of the processed cheese slices over the beef.
-
Spread the creamy noodle mixture over the cheese layer.
-
Top with the remaining beef mixture and the rest of the cheese slices.
-
Cover the dish with foil and bake for 30 minutes.
-
Remove foil and bake for an additional 5-10 minutes if you desire a bubbly top, or serve immediately.
