Saucy Pork and Noodle Bake

Step 1

Bring a large pot of water to a boil with a pinch of salt. Cook the noodles for half of the time recommended on the package. Drain and rinse them to stop them from overcooking. This helps keep the pasta firm in the baked casserole.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, add both cans of soup, the cans of corn with their juices, the shredded cheese, and the diced pork and stir to combine.

Step 3

OPTIONAL: If you want to add onions to the casserole, heat the olive oil in a small saute pan for a minute and cook the diced onions until softened and translucent, about 3 - 4 minutes. Stir them into the soup mixture.

Step 4

Gently fold in the cooked noodles to the sauce mixture so you don't crush them.

Step 5

Pour the noodle mixture into a casserole dish that has been prepared with cooking spray.

Step 6

Preheat the oven to 375°F.

Step 7

Bake the covered casserole for 20 minutes.

Step 8

Remove the cover and carefully stir the dish a little to make sure the center gets piping hot. Continue to bake for another 20-25 minutes uncovered. The top should crisp up just a bit and the whole thing should be bubbling and warm.
