Even Amish cooks need quick recipes. Just imagine that suddenly Uncle Leroy and Aunt Katie arrive from a distant settlement with no notice and a quick supper needs to be whipped up. Well, something like this "Quick and Easy Casserole" would fit the bill. I got this recipe from one of my favorite Amish cookbooks, one from an Amish community in Montana.
My parents attempted this recipe and it did live up to its billing, it was quick and easy. The recipe calls for peas, but they didn't have peas, so they substituted green beans. They said the meal was very good but that it probably would have tasted better with peas, green beans are a bit more acidic and often don't do quite as well in casseroles.
Okay, here is the recipe:
You can never go wrong with noodles and hamburger
Cook the noodles first
And cook the hamburger first...
And let the sunlight hit your casserole (actually, not a requirement, just thought it made a cool pic)
My parents used green beans, but the original recipe called for peas...probably works best with peas
Top with cheese or butter bread crumbs (or both!)
delish
