- 1/2 cup water
- 1 1/2 cups wide or extra wide egg noodles
- 1/2 cup frozen bell pepper stir fry, larger pieces cut up or about 1 1/2 cups of these veggies cut up stir fry style. (I used chopped bell pepper and chopped onion worked great)
- 9 ounces frozen cooked Italian Meatballs, I cut them in half
- 3 ounces shredded mozzarella (over full 3/4 cup shredded cheese)
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley (this is actually not necessary)
Directions
- In ungreased 13 X 9 inch (3 quart) glass baking dish, for full size recipe, and an 8X8 inch (1.5 quart) glass baking dish, for half recipe. combine pasta sauce, soup and water; mix well. Stir in uncooked noodles, and bell pepper and onion stir fry. Add meatballs; turn to coat with sauce. (Noodles should be completely covered with sauce.) Cover tightly with foil; refrigerate at least 8 hours or overnight.
- 2. When ready to bake, heat oven to 350 F. Bake casserole, covered, for 45 minutes.
- 3. Uncover baking dish; sprinkle with cheese and parsley. Bake, uncovered, an additional 5 to 10 minutes or until casserole is bubbly and cheese is melted.
Notes
- If you are meal prepping: mix well and separate into 3 foil containers so that you can freeze or bake.
- *if making the half recipe use a smaller casserole dish, use an 8X8 which is equal to 1.5q. which is half of the full size. or a 6X8 baking dish would also work.
