I've been eating this since I was little. Great for cold nights around the dinner table...there's very rarely leftovers!!

I liked this recipe but thought the corn was out of place. Maybe chili beans could be substituted.Also, the olives would be better just sprinkled on top instead of inside the casserole.

Very good! I might try rice in it next time instead of noodles. Good served with corn chips on the side!
