What's a good ground beef casserole?

Answer 1

I make what I call a Stroganoff Casserole.

Pound of ground beef, browned and drained
One small onion, minced and sauteed with the beef
Can of cream of mushroom soup
8 ounces of sour cream, stirred into the soup
Garlic powder, as much as you like, stirred into the soup
Package of egg noodles, cooked and drained
Parmesan Cheese

Mix all ingredients except the cheese in a casserole dish, sprinkle the cheese on top, toss in the oven at 350 for about 20 minutes. Enjoy.

Taco Pie

INGREDIENTS
1 (8 ounce) package refrigerated crescent rolls
1 pound ground beef
1 (1 ounce) package taco seasoning mix
1 (16 ounce) container sour cream
8 ounces shredded Mexican-style cheese blend
1 (14.5 ounce) package crushed tortilla chips
DIRECTIONS
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
Lay crescent dough flat on the bottom of a square cake pan and bake according to package directions.
Meanwhile, brown the ground beef in a large skillet over medium high heat. Add the taco seasoning and stir together well. When dough is done, remove from oven and place meat mixture on top, then layer with sour cream and cheese, and then top off with the crushed nacho chips.
Return to oven and bake at 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) for 10 minutes, or until cheese has melted.

Answer 3

Baked pasta! This is basically pasta, pasta sauce, and ground meat mixed together and baked.

Use any type of pasta you'd like (spaghetti, penne, lasagna). Generally 1 lb of pasta goes well with 1 lb of meat. Then 1 - 2 jars of pasta sauce to your liking.

My current favorite is actually:

1 lb ground meat browned
1 lb pasta cooked and drained (save some of the water)
1 16 oz can of tomato sauce
1 16 oz jar of pasta sauce (any flavor you like)
1 16 oz can of diced tomatoes (any flavor, but something interesting helps!)
dried diced onions are nice
garlic powder

Mix the tomato sauce, pasta sauce, and diced tomatoes. Use any combination of these three that you'd like.

I layer these ingredients in the casserole dish. Pasta first, then just a little sauce, then a layer of meat, then a thorough layer of sauce. If there's still space, start over with the pasta.

It's best when the very top layer is sauce, and the layer below that is meat. If pasta is near the top, it can dry out while baking and then you have super hard bits.





Also good: Chicken Bruschetta!

Ingredients and instructions can be found by doing a web search.

It involves boneless skinless chicken breast, dry stuffing, cans of diced tomatoes, and cheese if that's your thing. The stuffing and the tomatoes get mixed together, placed on top of the raw chicken, and then the whole thing is baked 30 minutes. Cheese goes anywhere you'd like, but mainly on top.

Garlic powder to taste
Dried basil to taste
Salt and pepper to taste
4 potatoes, sliced 1/4-inch thick

1-1/2 cups fresh or frozen corn kernels
1 green pepper, diced
8 ounces mushrooms, sliced
1 pound canned tomatoes, crushed
1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley

Assemble the casserole in the following order: half of the ground beef, half of the potatoes, half of the corn, half of the tomatoes and parsley, half of the onions and peppers, all mushrooms, remaining potatoes, remaining corn, remaining onions and peppers, remaining ground beef, remaining tomatoes and parsley. Cover casserole and bake for 1 hour. Remove cover and bake for 1/2 hour more.

Answer 6

Meat and potatoes. It's a skillet cassarole.
A pound of ground beef, 4 medium potatoes, 2 cups of liquid (I like half milk and half water), a tablespoon of flour, a cup of frozen peas, a cube of beef boullion, pepper and parsley.
Peel and slice potatoes. Cook potatoes in the skillet with the beef, parsley and pepper (to taste). Don't drain it. The grease makes the gravy flavoring. When the meat is brown and the potatoes are tender, mix about a tablespoon of flour in a cup of cold water. Dissolve bouillion cube in this. You can either add another cup of water or a cup of milk or cream(any kind but sweetened). Pour the liquid into the meat and potato mixture. Stir in frozen peas. It's done as soon as the peas are warm.

Answer 10

One of the best, and easiest, is a Taco casserole. Just make your taco meat like normal (either season to taste of use a package seasoning mix), cook, and add grated cheddar cheese and sour cream. You can also add guacamole (purchased or fresh made) to taste. Serve or taco or corn chips, or with the chips on the side. An easy yummy dinner!
