This Beef Lombardi Casserole is very simple to make. Just brown the meat, boil the noodles and toss everything together. We loved the creamy noodles and the hearty meat sauce. There is a little kick to the sauce from the diced tomatoes and green chiles. If you are worried about the heat, just make sure to use a can of MILD diced tomatoes and green chiles. We served this with a simple salad and some crusty bread. SO easy and SOOOOO delicious!
