 - ⅛ teaspoon black pepper
 - ¼ teaspoon salt
 - 1 (10.75 ounce) can condensed cream of chicken soup

Steps
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
 - Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Add egg noodles and cook until tender, about 7 minutes. Drain and return to the pan. Mix in the cream of chicken soup until noodles are coated.
 - Crumble the ground beef into a large skillet over medium-high heat. Drain the grease, and stir in the tomato soup, brown sugar, pepper and salt. Spread half of the beef in the bottom of a greased 2 1/2 quart casserole dish. Arrange 5 slices of cheese over the beef. Top with half of the noodles, then repeat layers ending with cheese on top.
