No noodles. Its pretty much scalloped potatoes with carrots, and browned
hamburger (with diced onion) instead of ham. The ratio of meat and carrot
to potato is higher, too., like 1/3 each. Mixed with a basic scalloped
potato sauce (no cream of soup). Dont skimp on salt and pepper else its
pretty dang bland. Then baked a long dang time until the carrots and
potatoes are soft, which depends on how thin you cut them. Hard to screw
up and my kid likes it. I only make it when its the two of us home.

If I were to re-write the recipe using noodles, Id omit the carrot, add
mushrooms, use cream of mush soup and call it stroganoff hotdish. Ha!
