Shipwreck and Mississippi Mud

My Mam-ma and Mama have made these recipes for years and have passed them down to me and my brother and sister. The original recipes came from my Aunt Sudy who was my Great Granny's sister. I have a cookbook she wrote years ago, and it is FULL of YUMMY recipes! Good 'ole Southern cooking at its best. Here are two of the recipes I made today. Both are super easy and super tasty!!!

Brown beef, onion, and pepper together stirring over medium heat. Cook noodles according to directions. Drain well. Blend noodles with beef mixture. Stir in pimentos, corn, and soups. Salt and pepper to taste. Pour into 2 1/2 quart casserole dish. Bake at 375 for 30 minutes. Sprinkle cheese over top. Continue baking 10 minutes or until cheese melts.
