Cheesey Noodle Casserole has all the ingredients of any good comfort food and is a hit with kids as well. One of my favorite things about this recipe is that it’s so easy to double it and stick the extra in the freezer or take to a friend!
Quick Tip: having ground beef or turkey on hand is one of the best ways to pull together a quick meal. The meat cooks quickly and is so versatile!

All the melty, bubbly cheese and filling portions make this a great comfort food and great on those nights where everyone might be eating in “shifts” because of sports, church, or whatever. Cheesey Noodle Casserole reheats well and makes good leftovers for lunch the next day, too!
