Sprinkle about 1 cup of cheddar cheese over the meat mixture. Add another layer of 4 noodles, 1/3 of the meat mixture, and 1 cup of the cheese. Layer remaining 4 noodles with meat mixture and cheddar cheese. Cover baking dish with foil. Bake in a 350 degree F. oven for about 45 minutes or until hot. Remove from oven and let stand on a cooling rack with foil cover in place for 15 minutes. Remove foil from dish. Makes about 12 servings or more.
