1 medium green pepper, diced

2 small sweet onions, diced

2 Tbsp flour

salt and pepper to taste

2 1/2 cups milk

1 Tbsp prepared mustard

2 cups shredded Cheddar cheese, divided

1 package egg noodles, cooked and buttered

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.

In a heavy skillet, put the olive oil, green pepper, and onions and cook until slightly softened.

Stir in flour, and add salt and pepper if desired.

Add milk and continue stirring until thickened.

Add mustard and 1 1/2 cups of shredded cheese, continuing to stir until the cheese melts.

Combine this sauce with cooked egg noodles.
