Casserole For A Crowd Recipe

This is one of my favorite go to casseroles. It is one my Mother made for us often and always made for me to take to pot luck at the youth camp I worked at growing up. (Everyone requested it each and every year)
My children also like it and it makes a huge batch, so it goes a long way. unless you have my family and there is usually only a small bowl left and usually gets eaten up before bedtime.

2lbs ground beef
1 1/2 cups of chopped semi fine celery.
1 large onion chopped semi fine
1 green pepper chopped semi fine
1 can of mushrooms
1 can of bean sprouts
1 can of beef  consomme
1 can of cream of mushroom
1 can of cream of chicken
1 can of tomato soup
1/4 cup of soya sauce
1TBSP of prepared mustard
1 large package of egg noodles(I use med. broad)

in a large fry pan fry up the ground beef with the celery,onions,green pepper, and can mushrooms season with salt and pepper.and cook until beef is cooked and veggies are tender.

cook noodles as on package directions. drain,

 in a roaster pan add the cans of cream soups, beef consomme, tomato soup, soya,and mustard.mix well

dump into the roaster pan the noodles (I like to make it in a big one to have loads of room to mix) I also use foil roasters if I have them on hand.(great for potlucks)

drain fat and dump the ground beef mixture into your roaster as well with the noodles, add the bean sprouts,and mix everything up really good and bake in a 400 degree oven for 35 mins to 45 mins mixing 1/2 way through.

This freezes great as well.
