This easy to make Cheeseburger Casserole Recipe is the perfect quick weeknight dinner for your family!
If you love beef, pasta, cheese, onions, garlic, and lots of spices then this is the casserole for you! This recipe is loaded with lots of flavor and is also easy to make too. Double bonus!
At the point when I set up this recipe, I concluded that I expected to step beyond the recipe box and make something that my family would recall and adore! This cheeseburger meal certainly got the job done.
The pasta cooks directly in the pot and absorbs all of the kind of the flavors. It truly doesn’t get any more straightforward than this, and that is the thing I love about it. A pot and a meal dish, that was all there was to it! That was all I got filthy while cooking this recipe.
WHAT IS IN CHEESEBURGER CASSEROLE?
In this recipe you have the basics: beef, pasta, and cheese. But I take it a step further and use a combination of ingredients and spices that come together to make something that is truly magical when it hits your mouth.
Here are a few of the extra goodies that I include in my recipe:
- Garlic
- Chili Powder
- Salt & Pepper
- Italian Seasoning
- Finely Chopped Onion
- Worcestershire Sauce
- Tomato Sauce
- Diced Petite Tomatoes
- Beef Bouillon Cubes
- Sour Cream
- Whole Milk
- Cheddar & Mozzarella Cheese
HOW LONG DOES THIS CASSEROLE TAKE TO MAKE?
This recipe really does come together quickly. I love to make it on a busy weeknight when I don’t have a ton of time to cook.
I get my hamburger meat nice and small when cooking. Since I’m not one for big chunks of meat in my recipes, I usually use my secret trick to break up meat: my potato masher!
Once my meat is browned, I add the onion, garlic, and spices. Let that all cook together for about 5-7 minutes.
Next, add the pasta, broth, tomatoes, tomato paste, Worcestershire and stir together. Let cook for 10 minutes, or until the pasta is tender.
Once the pasta is tender, it’s time to add the creamy ingredients: sour cream and milk!
Layer the meat mixture with cheese in a 9×13 and bake for 10 minutes. Seriously, it’s that easy!
If you prefer the one pot method for this recipe just skip layering the cheese in the 9×13 casserole dish. Sprinkle the cheese on the top of the meat and pasta mixture in your skillet. Stir to combine and serve!
No matter how you dish it up, it’s delicious and I’m sure it’s going to become a new family favorite for you too!

- Pour the remaining beef and pasta mixture over the top of the cheese. Sprinkle with remaining cheese.
