This recipe isn't written very well. Butter is added twice, but listed once. And it says to cover with foil before putting it in the pan? And top noddle mixture with beef noodles? Confusing.
ReplyDeleteI browned the meat. Melted 1/2 stick of butter and sauted a chopped onion (didn't have peppers). To that I added cream cheese and heated, stirring until smooth. I added the ketchup, cream cheese/butter/onion mix, worcestershire sauce, soup and cheese to the beef. After cooking the noodles I added them to the meat mixture, stiring to combine. I placed in a greased pan and baked for 20 minutes at 350. Cheese could have been added on top and not mixed in.
Let me go back and clarify some of the directions. This recipe is handed down and not from a cookbook, so you know how "grandma" recipes can be. Sorry you had trouble.
ReplyDeletethanks! it was good, nonetheless.
