• Evenly layer the noodle mixture in the baking dish that has been prepared. Evenly distribute beef mixture over noodles. Evenly distribute the Colby Jack on top.
• Bake for 25 to 30 minutes, or until the cheese is spotted brown and bubbling around the edges. Give it five to ten minutes to cool. Have fun!
