Ground Beef Pasta Casserole
I love a good casserole recipe. Comforting, belly warming, feeds a crowd…Basically perfect aside from the calories. 🙂 This ground beef casserole is no exception. Cheesy and meaty with tasty tomatoes, sour cream and cream cheese, YUM!
If you are making this casserole you might consider making two. One for dinner and one to put in the freezer. Work smarter not harder, right?! During a busy week it is soooo nice to know I have a casserole waiting to be warmed up for dinner. It seems to make the afternoon go a little smoother and less cleanup in the evening. This casserole is one of the kids most requested meals along with baked mostaccioli and cheesy ground beef and rice casserole.
How to make Ground Beef Pasta Casserole
This ooey gooey cheesy casserole has 3 different cheeses:
- cheddar
- Parmesan
- mozzarella
Mix cooked egg noodles, sour cream, cream cheese and green onions for the base of this casserole. Top with a mixture of cooked ground beef, tomatoes, and Rotel. Then top with the 3 cheeses and bake until hot and bubbly.
Tips for Making Ground Beef Pasta
- If your family doesn’t like green chilis, substitute Rotel for another can of petite diced tomatoes.
- Try changing up the cheese with Monterary Jack and Cheddar or all Mozzarella.
