How to Make Beef, Veggie & Sweet Corn Noodle Casserole

Follow these easy steps to pull off this classic comfort dish:

1️⃣ Preheat and Prep
Preheat your oven to 350°F and lightly grease a 9×13-inch glass baking dish with nonstick spray or butter.

2️⃣ Brown the Beef
In a large skillet over medium heat, brown the ground beef with chopped onion. Drain any excess fat once fully cooked.

3️⃣ Add the Veggies
Stir in diced carrots, peas, and sweet corn. Cook for 4–5 minutes, just until the carrots begin to soften.

4️⃣ Mix in the Noodles
Add the cooked egg noodles to the skillet and stir everything together.

5️⃣ Make It Creamy
Pour in the cream of mushroom soup and milk. Stir until all ingredients are evenly coated.

6️⃣ Season and Cheese It
Season with salt and black pepper to taste. Stir in 3/4 cup of shredded cheddar cheese.

7️⃣ Bake It Off
Transfer the entire mixture into your prepared baking dish and spread it out evenly. Top with the remaining 1/4 cup of cheese.

8️⃣ Bake Until Golden
Bake for 25–30 minutes, until hot, bubbly, and golden around the edges.

9️⃣ Let It Rest
Allow the casserole to cool slightly before slicing and serving.

How to Serve

This casserole stands well on its own, but here are a few serving ideas:

– Serve with a side of green beans or a simple salad
– Add a slice of garlic bread or dinner rolls for extra comfort
– Sprinkle with fresh parsley or a dash of hot sauce for brightness

It’s cozy, creamy, and always a hit.

Tips and Variations

📌 Swap the Soup – Cream of chicken or cheddar soup works too
📌 Use Leftover Veggies – A great way to clean out the fridge
📌 Change the Cheese – Try Monterey Jack or mozzarella for a different flavor
📌 Add Crunch – Top with crushed crackers or French-fried onions before baking
📌 Make it Lighter – Sub ground turkey and low-fat milk if preferred

Storage and Leftovers

🧊 Refrigerate: Store leftovers in a sealed container for up to 3 days
🔥 Reheat: Warm in the microwave or oven until heated through
🚫 Freeze?: Yes—cool completely, then freeze in portions for up to 2 months. Thaw overnight and reheat

FAQs

Can I use different pasta?

Can I make it ahead of time?
Yes! Assemble the dish, cover, and refrigerate. Bake when ready to serve.

What’s a good veggie substitute for peas or carrots?
Green beans, zucchini, or even spinach would work well.
