This recipe was one my mother in law gave me shortly after we got married and its one of my husbands favorites. It took me a few times to get it just right but its easy and tastes great.

Source: Family

Prep Time: 10 minutes Cook Time: 1hr

1 large jar(30oz) spaghetti sauce
1 can cheddar cheese soup undiluted
1 large package(16oz) egg noodles
1lb hamburger
1-2 cups shredded mozzarella or cheddar cheese.

Brown the hamburger and cook the noodles. Combine all ingredients into a baking dish and bake at 350 for 1hr.

Yield: 4-6 servings

Its that simple. I will say you may need a little more sauce as your mixing it all together. That was my problem the first few times I made this recipe it was a little dry so now I buy the big 64oz can of spaghetti sauce and use all but a quarter of the can. It really just depends how saucy you want it. So play around with the sauce amount but use at least 30-40oz of sauce. This goes great with garlic bread and a salad for a fast hardy meal.

I find recipes from the MIL some of the most difficult to make. It's not that technically they are hard. It's that yours will never be as good as MIL's. And heaven forbid if you tweak it! But that's just my opinion. I might have to try this some night.

Its more the lack of directions that was the problem with this one. A large jar of spaghetti sauce. What is large??? I then got the recipe from Will's step mom and it had a little more information but not much better. My Husband had the same problem when he made it in college. It was either to dry or to soupy. But I get it right most of the time now.

I'm totally trying this. It sounds like something my usband would really like. Plus it's easy. I'm always looking for easy!!

Hi there, thanks very much for that. I was looking for a meaty stew recipe to get me through the christmas time, and this looks perfect. I found an entire stew recipes site here too that seems to have loads of good stuff, maybe your readers can get some more inspiration there. Anyway, thanks, I will bookmark and read more another time
