    Dorcas Peachy's Hamburger and Noodle Casserole

    No, there's nothing "peachy" tasting about this recipe, the name just comes from the Amish woman who submitted the recipe. Peachy is a common last name in some communities, I feel like it is a variation of Beachy, like perhaps the more common "Beachy" was misconstrued somewhere along the way. We've talked about that with other Amish surnames, like Byler and Beiler or Bontrager and Borntrager.  I suspect some sloppy immigration paperwork skewed some name spellings for all-time.

    Anyway, peachy or not, this casserole is a hearty filling favorite in Amish kitchens. Very classic, simple.

    The ingredients below are store bought because that is how 99 percent of readers will make it, but keep in mind Amish cooks would generally use homemade sour cream, cottage cheese, and home-raised meat.  All of those homemade items add a "freshness factor" that will be absent from your version, but this is a still a great dish!

    Saucing it up!
