I loved this casserole when I was in school in the 1970s. My kids and Dh love this casserole, too. Great for left-overs and seal a meals really good.
Talarena is made the noodles and you can add or delete what ingredients you don't like. I don't use the cloves but I do use chili powder.
Brown burger meat in Dutch Oven, add onions, garlic and thinly sliced onion (if your kids don't like onions, I use my mini chopper and pulverize the onions). Add 1 can of corn and if you want less acid test add 1/2 can of creamed corn. I put black olives in most of my casseroles. I have also used fresh spinach, mushrooms, steamed zucchini and jalapeños. I layered the ingredients and top with cheese. Bake 15 minutes and as much cheese as your kids want.
Enjoy........
