Directions
Betty Mayfield’s Beef Casserole,My sister and used to request this recipe often. Mom never seemed to make it often enough… we loved it! I’m not sure where my Mom got the recipe, but I think Betty Mayfield was a past Miss America? Not sure!,Wow, this dish was too tasty. I had to eyeball how much tomato and sauce to use, and it still turned out great. It’s one of my new favorite dishes! Great job Betty Mayfield, whoever you are! 🙂
EDIT: I first reviewed this recipe back in 2005, and it still remains to be a favorite of ours! But I just remembered a few things I usually change. First, be careful not to overcook the egg noodles.. you want them to be al dente (a little firm still) otherwise they sometimes get too soggy in the casserole, which ruins the texture. Secondly, instead of using tomato sauce, I like to use a cheap can or jar of spaghetti sauce! You can usually find cheap spaghetti sauce for the same price as plain tomato sauce, and it’s already seasoned, so it adds a lot of extra yummy flavoring! Lastly, I don’t like the look or taste of American cheese, so I usually opt for some grated cheddar cheese on the very top. And I agree with other reviews, I’ve often found that this casserole tastes even better the next day, after it’s had time to sit! So often, I try to make it the night before, and then refrigerate it until the next day… then just reheat in the oven! It always seems to taste better that way, and if you know you’re gonna have a hectic afternoon/evening the next day, it’s a perfect dish to prepare the night before!!,Wow, this dish was too tasty.
