Grandma's Ground Beef Casserole image

As the title suggests, this was my Grandmother's recipe. I've tweaked the amount of cheese and sour cream depending on what I've got in the fridge and it always turns out great! My mother has suggested this was made up as a way to use up ingredients in the fridge.

Time 1h15m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 pound ground beef
1 teaspoon white sugar
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon garlic salt
2 (15 ounce) cans tomato sauce
1 (8 ounce) package egg noodles
1 cup sour cream
1 (3 ounce) package cream cheese
1 large white onion, diced
½ cup shredded sharp Cheddar cheese, or more to taste

Steps:

  • Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook and stir beef in the hot skillet until browned and crumbly, 5 to 7 minutes; drain and discard grease. Mix sugar, salt, garlic salt and tomato sauce into ground beef; simmer until flavors blend, about 20 minutes. Remove from heat, cover skillet, and cool to room temperature.
  • Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook egg noodles in the boiling water, stirring occasionally until cooked through but firm to the bite, about 5 minutes. Drain and cool slightly.
  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 9x13-inch casserole dish.
  • Mix sour cream, cream cheese, and onion in a bowl.
  • Scoop half the noodles into the prepared casserole dish; top with half the sour cream mixture. Spoon half the ground beef mixture atop sour cream layer. Repeat layering with remaining ingredients. Top casserole with Cheddar cheese.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until Cheddar cheese has browned, 25 to 30 minutes.

Tips:

  • Choose the right casserole dish: Use a 9x13 inch baking dish for even cooking.
  • Layer your ingredients carefully: Start with a layer of cooked noodles, then add a layer of sauce, a layer of cheese, and a layer of cooked meat or vegetables. Repeat the layers until all ingredients are used up.
  • Don't overcook your noodles: Cook your noodles al dente, or slightly firm to the bite. This will prevent them from becoming mushy in the casserole.
  • Use a flavorful sauce: The sauce is what will bring all the flavors of the casserole together. Use a sauce that you love, such as a creamy Alfredo sauce, a cheesy tomato sauce, or a hearty meat sauce.
  • Add plenty of cheese: Cheese is a key ingredient in any good casserole. Use a combination of different cheeses, such as cheddar, mozzarella, and Parmesan, for a rich and flavorful casserole.
  • Don't be afraid to experiment: There are endless possibilities when it comes to making a layered casserole. Feel free to experiment with different ingredients and flavors to create a casserole that is unique and delicious.
