Philly Cheese Steak Casserole

Carter and I made this for dinner. It was very good and healthy! Around 260 calories per serving.
1 pkg. wide egg noodles- cook and drain.
Steak cut into strips (We just cut a roast into strips.)
1 large onion chopped
1 green pepper chopped.
Brown steak sprinkled with black pepper for about 4 minutes. (No fat. We sprayed the fry pan.) Add onion and green pepper (it could actually be any color sweet pepper.)
Put into a 'sprayed' pan.
Combine 1 can beef broth (I used boullion) and 1/4 c. flour in a bowl. Whisk together well. Heat in fry pan until thickened. Stir in 3/4 c. fat free half and half.
Add noodles with meat and pour sauce over all. Stir to mix. (I also added fresh sliced mushrooms to this- Yummy! I would slightly saute' them next time.)
Bake 350* for 40 minutes. Covered.
Uncover and sprinkle with low fat mozzerella cheese. Bake uncovered 10 minutes more.
I actually made a little more sauce than they called for because I was using more meat and used a bigger pan to feed the family. We found it needed a little salt at serving time. Kenny poured Ranch dressing on his and loved it.
