I found this recipe and thought it sounded simple & tasty, related to Hamburger Helper in some way, but a homemade casserole. It’s an old fashioned form of hamburger helper, just another beef noodle casserole. It might not even be Amish, but it’s a different flavor if you’re a little tired of your usual Goulash.
Ingredients
- Egg Noodles (the whole bag)
- ground beef
- condensed tomato soup
- condensed cream of mushroom soup
- milk
- Worcestershire sauce
- garlic
- onion
- salt, pepper
- Parmesan cheese
I guess I forgot the milk & Parmesan cheese in this photo session.
Alterations:
You can use different style of noodles, like Rotini, or add fresh vegetables.
- sauteed fresh mushrooms
- diced onion
- garlic cloves
- tomatoes
- peas
- fresh parsley
- add a casserole topping of Panko bread crumbs or butter & crackers
Or, try leaving one of the soups out of the recipe and topping it with cheddar instead. You can also replace the ground beef with ground turkey.
This time, my little alteration was adding 1 Tbsp of Lipton Onion Soup & Dip Mix. It added that little extra flavor kick.
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 F & grease a 9*13 casserole dish.
- Cook the egg noodles and drain.
- Cook the ground beef (if you use grass-fed, you won’t have to drain the grease)
- Mix the soup base (tomato, cream of mushroom, milk, Worcestershire sauce, garlic, onion, salt, pepper) in a large bowl. Then add noodles & beef.
- Pour it out into the baking dish & bake, uncovered for 25 minutes.
- Top it with cheese, and bake 5 more minutes.
I actually combined the cheese into the soup base, so my cheese was baked in. You could try it that way, too, but I think a topping would have been nice. It was good either way, and a hit with the husband!
