(by Shirley McNevich)

2 cups egg noodles (measure two cups before cooking, then cook and drain according to package directions)
2 tsp. canola oil
1 lb. ground chuck
1 tsp. salt
1/2 tsp. pepper
1 chopped onion
1/4 tsp. garlic salt
1 tsp. oregano
1 - 10.75oz. Campbell's tomato soup
1/3 cup water
1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
pepperoni slices

Cook and drain egg noodles--set aside. In a skillet over medium heat add canola oil. Add ground chuck, chopped onion, garlic salt, oregano, salt, pepper--stir and cook until beef is browned--drain off any extra liquid/fat. Leave the beef mixture in the skillet--add water, tomato soup--stir. Cook on medium heat until hot. Remove skillet from heat--add cooked/drained noodles and 1/2 of the shredded mozzarella cheese--stir. Spoon mixture into a greased casserole. Bake at 350 degrees for 25-30 minutes or until heated through. Remove from oven, add the rest of the shredded mozzarella cheese on top. Arrange pepperoni slices on top. Return to oven and bake 10 more minutes or until cheese is melted.
