Cheesy Meat Casserole

Ground beef, noodles and three kinds of cheese... is there anything more you'd want out of a delicious, hearty dinner dish? This Loaded Cheesy Meaty Casserole will satisfy all of your cravings with its tasty flavors and great texture. If you're looking for easy casserole recipes that will please everyone at the table, here's your winning dish. Kids love it, men love it and you'll love it too!

1 pound of hamburger, browned
3 cups of homemade spaghetti style sauce 
1 box of rice noodles or 6-8 wide lasagna noodles, cooked according to package
1 small can of sliced black olives, drained
1.5 cups of gruyere, grated
1 small wedge of triple cream cheese (similar to Brie), sliced with mold removed
1.5 cups of fontina cheese

NOTE: If using Velveeta, use enough cheese, sliced in thin slices, to cover two layers.

Have your meat browned, cheese grated or sliced and noodles cooked.

Preheat oven to 400 degrees.

In a bowl add sauce to meat and stir. You don't want you sauce to be too runny.

In a rectangular baking dish (9X13) start layering ingredients.

I did meat on the bottom, olives sprinkled, cheese, noodles and repeat. I topped my dish with a final sprinkle of cheese. I also mixed the cheese's up on each layer (this is your choice).

Cover with foil and bake for 20-25 minutes or until bubbly.

Let rest for 10 minutes once removed from oven.
