Sometimes I’m looking for something warm and comforting but I really don’t want to cook. This baked dish combines the savory delight of a cheeseburger with the total comfort of a bowl of macaroni and cheese. And it’s easy!
What’s in the casserole?
This dish is made with ground beef, onion, pasta, spices, cream of bacon soup and cheese – lots of cheese.
I know you’re thinking, what? cream of bacon? Yep. It’s by Campbells and it’s new – and it really has bacon in it!!
But if you can’t find it or don’t want the bacon, cream of mushroom, cream of chicken, or even cheddar cheese soup will work.
Be creative! It’s your meal.
What Makes it Comfort Food?
Mac and cheese is a classic comfort food. And a big, juicy cheeseburger fits the bill every time.
Mixing the two makes it extra comfort!
Making the baked casserole –Â
Cook your pasta first. Once it’s done, drain it, but save 1/4 cup of the water. Set aside.
Next brown the beef in a large, ovenproof skillet.
Crumble the beef an put it into the hot skillet. Cook it until it is almost all browned.
Place the minced onion, lemon pepper, and salt on the top. Stir well.
Stir in the soup and pasta water. Mix it well.
Stir in 1 cup of the cheddar. When it’s well mixed, add more salt and pepper to taste.
Top it with the remaining cheddar and bake at 350 degrees for about 30 minutes. The top will be bubbly and a little bit browned.
Serve hot and enjoy!
