I am all about cooking up vintage meals and this hamburger casserole is about as old-school as they come. I can remember my grandma making this casserole when I was a little girl and telling me that her mother used to make it, too.
It’s filling, easy to prepare, and meets the needs of almost everyone’s taste buds. I think you’ll be pleasantly surprised by how good this dish comes out. Cooking with ground beef has always been a favorite ingredient of mine because it’s easy and it cooks fast.
I think ground beef gives this casserole a savory kick. My husband and kids love it when I make hamburger casserole. my oldest child smothers hers in mustard and ketchup. I’m not sure how good this is as I’ve never personally tried it but she sure does love it.

Quick Tip: Even though this casserole contains pasta I would still eat it with mashed potatoes.
for give my ignorance are the noodles cooked???
The first step says to cook the noodles according to the package instructions. (I missed it the first time around, too! ?)
Instead of pasta try Tater Tots. With the melted cheeses it’s really great.
First step, cook noodles 😉
Try Tater Tots instead of pasta. With all the cheeses it’s great.
Guess you didn’t read the recipe slowly enough. Cook the pasta according to the package instructions, drain before putting them in a cassarole dish.
how much garlic and is it minced ot powder and how much onions
For 1 pound of ground beef, go with 1 onion, diced, and 3-4 cloves of garlic, minced.
Yum!
Are there any casserole recipes out there that does not have tomatoes or tomato sauces in them . Allergy
Poor mans beef stroganoff
1 lb hamburger meat cooked, drained.
Egg noodles cooked and drained
2 cans cream soups
(ome must be cream of mushroom and other can be another mushroom or celery)
1 small container sour cream.
1/2 c beef broth
Mozzeralla cheese
….
Mix 1/2 c broth, 2 cans cream soup to the already cooked hamburger meat. Add pepper, powdered garlic/onion powder to taste. Summer a few minutes. Add already cooked egg noodles; stir well. Add 2-3 tablespoons sour cream; stir well.
Pour in sprayed casserole dish. Sprinkle with mozzarella and bake till bubbly!
So all you use is 2-3T of the sour cream , not the whole small container as called for in the ingredients list ?
Use a cream sauce or soup instead of tomato based sauces.
Do you cook
You can go by what the mixture looks like and by tasting as you go along. You don’t have to follow recipes exactly. You can change off ingredients once you get used to doing recipes more often. Good luck
I make some with fried hamburger, cream of chicken soup and noodles……..you can add a little sour cream or cream cheese and any other flavor cheese you like. Stir in some green beans or corn or whatever veggie you like!
3lbs hamburger 2 large cans cream of mushroom 2 large cans French style green beans, velveeta cheese, onions, tater rounds or tots.. Brown hamburger with onion and pepper drain mix beans and soup in with hamburger put in baking dish spread out. Slice cheese evenly over entire mixture then put rounds or tots on top bake for about a hour or until all cheese is melted and tots look done.. 375°
Maybe some type of cream soup??? Or…cheddar cheese soup???
2lbs ground beef, 2cans cream of mushroom, 2 cans chicken noodle, 1 cup minute rice.
Brown meat mix with soup and rice. Bake at 350°for 15-20 minutes. Top with corn flakes and bake another 15-20 minutes.
Tater Tot Casserole is excellent! Brown hamburger with onions and garlic, mix in cream of mushroom soup and a little milk pour over single layer tatertots in casserole dish, top with cheese,cover,
bake for an hour. Easy and good!
I cook something like but use hamburger seasoned with taco seasoning , salt and pepper, shredded cheddar cheese, bake 25 mins top with cheese again bake til cheese is melted serve with lettece tomato and onion tater tot taco salad
Using taco seasoning sounds good. I will have to try that!
I have one I do kinda like green bean casserole but I add hanburger and noodles along w the green beans mushroom soup and the onion things on top my family loves it!
We substitute with brown or mushroom gravy.
Use a Alfredo sauce. That would be good too.
Use cream of Chicken, cream of mushroom etc
I used tomato sauce instead of tomato soup and I used a non stick pan instead of greasing a pan. Excellenf
You baked a non stick pan? Takes only 10 seconds to grease a baking dish with butter 😉
What are Barilla noodles
Carla, Barilla is a brand name. You could use any shells you like.
Noodles made by Barilla brand
Stacys version sounds great. I made original recipe and a can of Chef Boyardee would be just as good.
The tomato soup turns me off, I would use tomato sauce or a can of tomatoes in it..Add spices..
I used spaghetti sauce. I do not like tomato sauce or diced tomatoes
Pray tell what do you think spaghetti sauce is made of. Lol
Thank you for all the simple and easy recipes you share with your face book family and friends.
How would this work in a slow cooker?
If I did 2 pounds of hamburger for the casserole would I use 4 cans of tomato soup? Or is that to much?
I would like yo double the recipe for the hamburger casserole. I would do 2 pounds of hamburger which means 4 cans of tomato soup! Would that be to much soup?
We made the recipe with homemade garlic mashed potatoes on the bottom instead of the pasta. Used a cup of ketchup in the beef mixture instead of the tomato sauce. We put a layer of potatoes on the bottom, half the beef mixture, then the rest of the potatoes, then the rest of the beef mixture. The fished the recipe with the cheese and baked it the same way as the recipe. It was awesome and the kids freaked out and wanted seconds!
Then Finished Not the fished, sorry old keyboard……
why don’t you just submit your own recipe – kills me that people change recipes when they should just submit their own
Yumm! All recipes sound good.
Yummy, my kinda of cooking
yum
Back of Mueller egg noodles. Excellent Beef stroganoff. No tomatoe or can soup just broth. Really good.
We have done this so often. And done a few variations of. And always with veggies of one sort or another. Have also used stuffing, both cornbread and regular bread type of stuffing. As hard as we tried. Our daughter is as finicky as all get out which is one of the reasons we use the basic recipe mentioned here. Then as many variations as possible so we can get past her ‘stubbornness’. The boys? One will eat anything. One is slightly finicky. But my daughter? It was a whole new ball game. And I almost always add bell peppers, celery, and mushrooms to everything. Always try to use a handful of at least 3 colors of bell peppers. I think the added festive color makes the dish more appealing.
