Got another good one this week. I love this recipe for a couple of reasons. 1. It's freezable. 2. The chili sauce adds a wonderful, unexpected flavor. Try it!!INGREDIENTS
5 cups uncooked egg noodles
2 pounds ground beef
1 cup chopped onion
1/2 cup chopped green pepper
2 cans (10-3/4 ounces each) condensed tomato soup, undiluted
2 cups (8 ounces) shredded cheddar cheese
1-1/2 cups water
1/2 cup chili sauce
1-1/2 cups soft bread crumbs (optional)
3 tablespoons butter, melted (optional)
STEPS
1. Cook noodles according to package directions until almost tender; drain.
2. In a large skillet, cook the beef, onion and green pepper over medium-high heat for 10-12 minutes or until meat is no longer pink; drain. Stir in the noodles, soup, cheese, water and chili sauce. Transfer to two greased 8-in. square baking dishes, or one 9x13 if not freezing.3. Toss the bread crumbs and butter; sprinkle over casseroles. Bake one casserole, uncovered, at 350° for 35-40 minutes or until bubbly and golden brown.
4. Cover and freeze the remaining casserole for up to 3 months.
To use frozen casserole: Remove from the freezer 30 minutes before baking (do not thaw). Cover and bake at 350° for 60 minutes. Uncover; bake 10-15 minutes longer or until heated through.

I dont want to sound stupid but what is chili sauce? Do you mean canned chili? I am at a loss!
It looks good and we love chili so I am think it would be great with fritoes on top instead of bread crumbs?
Hi, Carrie. Chili Sauce is made by Heinz (probably some others, too), and is like ketchup with some other stuff added. Here's a link that has a picture of it, and a recipe http://heinzchilisauce.com/
Hey!! My mom left me a jar of chili sauce at Christmas after she bought more than she needed for her meatballs. I have been wondering what the heck to do with it, and this sounds great! Thanks so much for the recipe. I especially love new uses for Tomato Soup.
