Easy Hamburger Casserole

Here is a quick, easy but delicious casserole. A friend at church ( Hi K!!), made this for a church dinner and it was so good. She calls it "Wednesday Night Casserole".

Ingredients:
egg noodles cooked and drained
1 - 2 lbs hamburger meat cooked and drained
1 can cream of chicken soup
cheddar cheese

Brown hamburger meat and season with salt, pepper and I added a few dashes of worsteshire sauce. You can also chop onion and green pepper in this while browning.
Mix cooked egg noodles, toss with a small bit of butter and add cream of chicken soup. If this is too thick, add some milk. Stir in hamburger meat, place in baking pan and top with cheese. Bake until cheese is bubbly.
