How to Make Hamburger and Noodle Casserole

Casseroles are classic comfort food for a reason: they're usually easy to put together and please everyone at the table. This combination of hamburger and egg noodles is no exception. Easy to put together, this casserole can be assembled earlier in the day then put in the oven for 45 minutes before you're ready to serve it. Appealing to both children and adults, this recipe serves four and pairs well with a side of vegetables and bread and butter.

Things You'll Need

Instructions

1. Lightly grease the bottom and sides of a medium sized casserole dish.

2. Brown the ground beef in a pan over medium heat. Drain off the excess grease and set the meat aside.

3. In a large pot, boil the noodles until al dente, or still slightly firm. Drain the noodles.

4. Mix the ground beef, noodles and the two soups together in the casserole dish. Use a large spoon to gently combine the mixture. Lay the three slices of American cheese on top of the casserole.

5. Cover the casserole with aluminum foil and bake at 350 degrees for 30 to 45 minutes, or until the casserole is bubbly and hot in the middle.
