Cheeseburger Noodle Casserole

---

This recipe was an experiment. I didn't have a pie shell to make cheeseburger pie, so i made part of the cheeseburger pie recipe, then threw in the noodles to make up for the missing pie crust. It was very good. My husband thought it would be gross because it was just an experiment, but he actually went back for seconds.
