Noodle Shyt a Change Up Recipe

I know the name sounds terrible, but this is a great quick and cheap recipe.  When the father of my children and I first married, we didn't have much money. We kept expenses down by eating what I now call poverty meals. They were great tasting, the kids loved them, and they didn't break the budget. I still make most of them to this day, because they are good eats.  The kids and my favorite was a ground beef and noodle delight. We could eat it every night, but I felt that variety was necessary. We did, however, eat it frequently. One night the hubby came home from work, took a sniff of the air and said, "Are we having that noodle shyt again?" The stuff became lovingly know as Noodle Shyt from then on. If the adult children find out that I am making it, they  make all kinds of excuses to stop by at dinner time.

This is a change up recipe. This picture is of the original shyt, but it is great with any type of frozen or fresh vegetable. It is especially nice with kale or spinach. If you use any other type of veggie, it needs to be cooked before going into the casserole. 

Preheat oven to 350°F

Ingredients:

1 pound of lean ground beef
1/2 pound of noodles, any variety that has some heft to it.
1 small onion
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder or granules
2 to 3 cans of Cream of Celery Soup, however any cream soup would work.

Procedure

Brown onions, garlic and beef.  Cook noodles until done. Throw all ingredients into a large casserole dish, and add soup.  Mix well and cook in oven for 30 minutes.
