Just something I threw together today
Slice and fry up an onion until its caramelized. This will take a while. Once they're almost done add some sliced mushrooms. This is optional but they're yummy.
Pull the onions and mushrooms to the side of the pan and add a can of Cream of Mushroom soup. Add 1/2 can of wine and mix it all together.
Cut up a few slices of ham into cubes and add to the onion/mushroom/soup mixture.
Boil up a package of wide egg noodles. You know how to do that and the instructions are on the bag.
Put the cooked noodles into a casserole. If they don't all fit that's OK, just save the extra for a bonus.
Pour the mixture form the pan over the noodles and smoothe it out on top of the noodles.
Shred about 8oz of Swiss cheese and sprinkle over the casserole stuff. Bake at 350 until well melted or even slightly brown if you like it like that.
Serve in a bowl or on a plate if you like. Yes, it looks like glop but it tastes fabulous and the melty cheese is chewy. This works well as a main course, especially if you have a salad on the side. If you have leftover vegetables, especially green beans, broccoli or cauliflower, you can add those tight into the casserole.
Put the leftovers in individual serving containers and tuck away into the freezer for a night you don't feel like cooking.
Now for the bonus dish. Mix the hot noodles with soft butter to keep them from sticking together while you make your casserole. Add herbs and spices that you like. I used pepper, thyme, garlic and paprika with a bit of salt. Mix well. Serve as a side dish. A garnish of parsley, green onions, bacon bits or anything that strikes your fancy to make it pretty.
