Easy casserole recipes are great dinner recipes for any night of the week. This ground beef casserole recipe uses canned soups to make the cooking sauce. I just love Campbell soup recipes for quick and easy dinners. They make life so much easier.

Remember that most casserole recipes are easy to adjust to your taste.

If you don't like cream of mushroom soup, use cream of celery or cream of broccoli. I have even used cream of chicken in beef casserole recipes and it tastes just fine.

Use your imagination and use your family's favorite soups or vegetables in the casserole.


Easy Ground Beef Casserole

1 pound ground beef
1/4 cup diced onion
1 can cream of mushroom soup
1 can tomato soup
1 can tomato paste
1 can mushrooms
1 teaspoon chili powder
1 small can kernel corn, drained
1 green or red pepper, chopped (optional)
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
1/2 - 3/4 package medium egg noodles

Cook egg noodles according to package directons.

Cook hamburger and onion. Combine and mix together everything else except the noodles. Add the meat mixture and blend in most of the cheese, keeping enough to sprinkle on top. Cook egg noodles, rinse and fold into meat mixture. Sprinkle top with remaining cheese. Bake at 400ºF for 20 minutes.

Great served with a green salad and rolls or garlic bread.


Cooking Tips

CookingNook.com's Tips:

*

This is an easy recipe to stretch because there is lots of liquid, so by increasing the hamburger to 1 1/2 pounds and using the entire package of noodles, you can feed 8 - 12 people.
*

If you prefer fresh mushrooms, which I do, use about 6 ounces of mushrooms, sliced. I would saute them a bit before adding them to the casserole but they will cook right in the pan with everything else if you prefer.
