Delicious Cheeseburger Casserole

I have always eaten cheeseburger casserole at my friend’s or relative’s place. So when my mother saw how much I liked this dish, she started making it. And I totally loved my mom’s version. 

This beef cheeseburger casserole uses tomato ketchup, tomato sauce, beef, cheddar cheese, and uncorked pasta, which gives a wonderful taste. 

Whenever I have an upcoming party, I prepare this dish in large batches and store it in the fridge. Surprisingly, reheating this dish doesn’t bring down its cheesy and beefy flavor. 

The big warm, comforting hugs of tomato sauce, beef, and cheese within the pasta always make me a fan.  

But if you are on a low-carb, keto diet, you might want to avoid preparing this dish because it’s loaded with cheese and pasta. You can add a few more ingredients if you want to bring that extra punch of flavors.

Steps to Make Delicious Cheeseburger Casserole 

Below are the steps to make the delicious cheeseburger casserole.

Step One:

To start the preparation of the cheeseburger casserole recipe, you need an onion. First, peel it and wash it under running water. Next, dice the onion roughly and keep it aside in a bowl. 

Step Two:

This step requires you to cook beef. So, take a pan and heat a few drops of olive oil. Once the oil gets warm, you can add diced onion and stir for some time. Then add ground beef and cook it for a while

.

After a few minutes, you can add salt and pepper to the beef. Following this, you can add tomato sauce and ketchup. Mix everything together until properly combined. 

Step Three:

After combining the beef and tomato sauce, you need to add uncooked pasta to the dish. Then, pour in some water and let it cook for some time.

Once everything is combined, you need to transfer the dish into a casserole. So, take a casserole pan and properly grease it. Put the cooked beef and pasta in it. Top this delicious cheeseburger casserole with lots of cheddar cheese.

Let the dish bake for around 25 minutes. Serve hot and enjoy. 

Key Notes:

• If you want to make a cheeseburger casserole a complete dish, don’t forget to add 1-2 cups of uncooked rice cauliflower. Add the riced cauliflower while cooking beef and onion, so get the right flavors. 
• You can make your cheeseburger casserole more healthy and delicious by adding veggies. You can add raw baby spinach, corn, or any other veggie of your choice. 
• If you don’t like beef, you can substitute it with ground chicken thighs or turkey thighs. Surely the taste will not be the same, but your cheeseburger casserole will be fantastic. 
• You can add crumbled bacon to the top of this dish for extra flavors.
