Step 1
This Pork and Noodle Casserole consists of seasoned pork sausage, red or orange bell pepper, onion, and mushrooms, all combined with cream of mushroom soup and noodles (I like to use egg noodles).
**Note: for a GF version be sure to use gluten-free sausage, (I use Jimmy Dean all-natural regular pork sausage), gluten-free egg noodles, and gluten-free cream of mushroom soup. You also have the option of making homemade GF cream of mushroom soup.
First, cook the noodles according to the packaging directions; drain and set aside. In a skillet fry the sausage until it’s done; drain off the excess grease. Add peppers, onion, and mushrooms to the skillet and cook until tender. Add sausage mixture to the cooked noodles and stir in cream of mushroom soup. Pour the mixture into a lightly greased 1.5 to a 2-quart casserole dish.
Step 2
Next, melt 1 tablespoon of butter. Add panko crumbs or buttered cracker crumbs to the butter; stir well. **Note: for a GF version be sure to use gluten-free panko crumbs or gluten-free cracker crumbs.
Sprinkle buttered crumbs and parsley flakes evenly over top of the casserole.
Bake
Finally, bake the Pork and Noodle Casserole in a preheated 350 degrees F oven for 40 – 45 minutes or until golden brown. Serve immediately.
Serve
To make a complete meal, I like to serve a side salad and ice tea along with Pork and Noodle Casserole.

This Pork and Noodle Casserole will easily serve 6 to 8, depending on the serving size. It also makes great leftovers! Simply refrigerate until ready to use, reheat, and Voila! Dinner is served!

Notes
If you aren't a fan of mushrooms you can omit them and use cream of chicken soup in place of cream of mushroom soup.
Feel free to add pimentos, some green peppers, or a touch of garlic if you’d like. You can also use cream of chicken soup in place of cream of mushroom soup.
