Iron Skillet Ground Beef Casserole

I love my iron skillet...I especially love when I can make something as wonderful as this casserole.  If you don't have an iron skillet, I encourage you to buy one!

Iron Skillet Ground Beef Casserole

2 quarts of water + 1 tsp. salt
1/2 white onion, finely diced

slurry:  1/4 cup water + 2 heaping Tbsp. cornstarch

In a separate skillet, brown the ground beef, onion, basil, pepper and salt.  In separate pan, boil the noodles in 2 Quarts of water + 1 tsp. salt until they are done.  Drain noodles and drain ground beef mixture separately.

Stir 1 Tbsp. butter into the noodles until it melts.  Add evaporated milk and ground beef.  Stir well to combine.  Add 1/2 cup of the mozzarella cheese and stir.  Spray the cast ironed skillet with cooking spray (or lightly butter).  Pour the mixture into the skillet.  Top with the remainder of the mozzarella cheese.
