CORNED BEEF CASSEROLE
Ingredients

•1 (8-ounce) package medium egg noodles, uncooked
•1 (12-ounce) can corned beef
•1 (10.5- to 14-ounce) can cream of celery soup, undiluted
•¾ cup milk (use just ½ cup if using larger soup can)
•1 Tablespoon dried minced onion
•¼ cup bread crumbs (seasoned or toasted plain)

Directions

Preheat oven to 350°. In a saucepan, cook the noodles just until tender; drain. In a large bowl, chop the corned beef into a coarse crumbly texture.

Stir in soup, milk and onion. Grease a 2-quart casserole. Add the noodles and the corned beef mixture and stir together well. Sprinkle the bread crumbs on top.

Bake covered at 350 degrees for 30 minutes.

Try serving the casserole with petite whole green beans from the freezer…or add 1 cup of finely chopped purple cabbage, 1/4 cup diced onion and 2 teaspoons fennel seed or powder for some true Irish flavor.
